2nd Week of School (September 2-6)

Howdy! 

Please visit this page for weekly updates and scheduled assignments.  The due dates and assignments are scheduled to change to meet the needs of my students.  The best way to know exactly what is assigned and/or due is to check your student's planner/agenda nightly.  Poetry will be included in every Friday class, unless there is some type of interruption to our normal schedule.  We will call this day, "Poetry Fridays."  Students are invited to volunteer to bring a snack to share with classmates; this part of "Poetry Fridays" is completely optional and contingent upon behavior and academic participation.

Sincerely,

Mrs. G 
Let's Go!
