Coming Home Week, Scheduling, Research Papers...Busy, Busy, Busy!

Wow those weekends move fast!  Here we are, Sunday morning, and I'm planning for the upcoming week. There's so much going on!  First - Coming Home Week, which means assemblies both Monday and Friday (read: shortened hours); Second - scheduling continues for 10th grade (read: students coming and going from my room continuously on Monday) though the schedules are not due to the counseling office until March 1st; Third - advisory schedules stay in place for Wednesday and Thursday, both academic for those who need extra help (read: shortened hours); Finally - research paper rough drafts are due by midnight Monday night, and the final copies - edited and revised - are due one week after that (read: I'm doing my best to get them what they need, despite the shortened hours and coming and going).

So - life is nothing if not exciting!
Here's what's happening academically this week:

• Monday - scheduling - students go to work with counselors; drafting the research paper - due shared with me by midnight on Google Drive.
• Tuesday - Khan Academy for PSAT/SAT pre-tests and practice.
• Wednesday - we'll go back to addressing verbs, focusing on irregular forms; we're going to head toward the next unit which deals with social responsibility and guilt, reading "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain," by Emily Dickinson (they will have a packet with all of the paperwork so that if they're absent they have all the materials).
• Thursday - we'll continue with verbs and Emily Dickinson
• Friday - we'll continue with verbs; they'll have time to edit and revise their own papers as well as critique each others' papers.

Well, that's the week.  Hopefully you were able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.  Even though it's not as warm right now, the birds are singing and the sun is shining, so Enjoy!  Ciao!
