Important Update
Please Ask Your Child About This Work
Student Work Due Monday
I was not at school today due to a family commitment. The Pre-AP students had one assignment to work on the entire class period. They were given 45 minutes to read one article and take notes on it. At this time, I have had a total of seven out of 86 students turn in this work.
I wanted you to be aware, that yes, I know they have a two-page essay due on Monday for their Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn book, so I specifically gave them the entire class period to work on the research/note-taking assignment. Any time remaining in class could have been used to work on the essay due Monday.
It is not uncommon for the students to spend their class period visiting or engaged in other off-task behaviors when there is a substitute, thus not completing their work. Please know they had ample time to do the work assigned if they used their time wisely.
Please ask your child about this assignment and ensure that they turn it in to the google classroom before Monday. It is possible that some have completed the assignment but not turned it in to the google classroom. They need to go into the assignment on the google classroom 2.18.16 Mini-Research project, click add from google drive, add the Cornell notes they took to the assignment, then click turn in. They all know how to do this.
If your child complains about a lot of work this weekend, it is not because they weren't given class time to work on it. I love them all, but time management is an important skill they must figure out or suffer the consequences.
Thank you,
