Tomorrow is the day in our state where tens of thousand of educators will receive letters informing them that are being laid off at the end of the school year. With the special election in May, some of these jobs have the potential to be reinstated, but there are no guarantees. So, in an effort to show support for those affected by these layoffs, and in a school setting...who isn't?, tomorrow has been deemed "Pink Friday". Everyone is encouraged to wear pink to show their support for education.
Tomorrow brings the wrap up of our Gold Rush work. We completed the Great Horn Spoon today and will be viewing the film version, "Bullwhip", in class tomorrow. We'll also be reviewing our final biome, the desert. Both the Gold Rush and land biome quizzes will be held next Thursday and Friday. Check the schedule for exact dates.
In an effort to foster a greater sense of ownership for their work during this last grading period, I will be marking down late papers by 10%. The kids were made aware of this today, and I will begin enforcing it tomorrow. Students who are absent will not be marked down 10% as long as they submit the work the day they return to class.
Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:
-reading log
-complete and study vocabulary for tomorrow's Gold Rush vocabulary quiz
Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
