Some parents may have noticed that the first proposed date for trip deposits arrived today (March 7). However no student has been given a permission form for the trip yet. This is because the trip has yet to be officially approved by the superintendent. Relevant forms were shared in a timely way for consideration. Events in the recent past involving excursions have occurred in which student safety was in question. An abundance of caution is being exercised to assure students and their families that the excursions are safe and properly supervised. When the final approvals are secured, permission forms will arrive home with students showing new deposit date schedules. Mr. Hochberg feels reasonably confident that the trip is still going forward and staff are still engaged and expecting to go. When more information is available it will be promptly shared. Thank you for your patience.
Wednesday HW
1. We finished listening to the online clips in class today. After two full periods, you will have to view/listen to them at home to complete your note-taking if you feel there is further exposure needed.
2. Math Quiz: Thursday, March 8 -- Unit four, lessons 10, 11, 12
3. We will have two more poems to write (a tanka, and a space-themed free verse poem) before our informal poetry cafe on FRIDAY MARCH 9. In that activity, students will deliver two poems: one they've written by themselves, and one they have found that inspires them in some way. Students who are absent for any reason that day are responsible for presenting to me before then or immediately afterwards for an Oral Communication grade. No extensions are available in class time. Bring a mug on Friday if you want hot chocolate during the Café.
Tuesday HW
1. Bring ear buds or headphones to class (that are inexpensive) to use with our Chromebooks. If you do not finish listening to the online clips in class today and tomorrow, you will have to view/listen to them at home to complete your note-taking.
