May 23 - 27

We will finish CAASPP this week, and then begin our last tiny unit for the year!  I can't believe there are only 3 weeks left, and none of them are full weeks.  I am in the middle of grading all of the research papers and will have them completed by the end of Memorial Day Weekend.

Please take the opportunity this week to check your grade on Aeries and to turn in any late/missing work.  June 3 is the last possible day I can accept late work: this is posted on the whiteboard in class and I'll announce it each period as well.

The last 2 assignments for class will be turning in the journal on June 2 or 3 and then the narrative/college essay on June 6.  Be sure it's ready to turn in as I can't accept late journals this time.

MONDAY: (5th, 6th) CAASPP Computer Adaptive English Test.  Please bring homework or a book to read in case you finish the CAASPP early.

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY:  CAASPP Computer Adaptive Math Test. Please bring homework or a book to read in case you finish the CAASPP early.

THURSDAY: (1st, 2nd) Journal warm-up.  Announcements.  Brainstorming activity for the final narrative/college essay writing assignment.   NOTE: Today's classes will be shorter due to the class competition assembly held during 2nd period.

FRIDAY: (5th, 6th) Journal warm-up. Announcements.  Brainstorming activity for the final narrative/college essay writing assignment.  NOTE: Today's classes will be shorter due to the minimum day block schedule.

Homework: Finish the brainstorming questionnaire you began in class.

Read the UC prompts and the Common Application prompts.  Begin to narrow down your topic for the college essay/narrative we'll write next week. 

Bring any English textbooks to the classroom or back to the library asap!

Have a wonderful three-day Memorial Day weekend!
