HW

Hello,

Just a friendly reminder:

Even if you have an appointment, you are graded for your efforts.  If you are not here, I cannot give you credit.  I know that extenuating circumstances arise (look it up if you need to) -- and those will be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.  However, for those of you continually making appointments for during school hours ----- please stop.  This is practice.  Making appointments for during work (or school) hours is unacceptable.  At most places of employment, it will get you fired.  At school, your grade will suffer and so will your understanding of the content.

One more thing...

Don't gossip.  Don't talk about each other behind closed doors or turned backs.  Speak directly to each other and speak with kindness.  We are here to lift each other up - not tear down.

Your homework for tonight:

Option one:
1. Why is school important?

2.  What other story did we read that was set in the Great Depression?

Option two:
In a well-developed paragraph, answer the following question.  Why should you care about your education?

PARENTS/ GUARDIANS: If you have any 
questions or comments please feel free to 
comment on the bottom of this page. I will 
reply as soon as possible. I look forward to your 
comments.

I'll see you tomorrow,
Ms. Betsy
