Homework This Weekend? WHAT!?! NO? Oh, Phew!

Today, in class, we discussed and even began two assignments that are not due until next week.

So are students supposed to work on these over this weekend?

NO.

Relax this weekend. Do family stuff. Get outside for a bit. We will have time to work in class on these assignments on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The assignments are a short mini-biography (half a page or less) of a classmate. We've worked on questions and interviews for a few days this past week. The mini-bio is due Thursday, September 19th. Both sixth graders and eighth graders are working on mini-bios.

Today we also discussed a current events presentation assignment. The written portion of that is also due Thursday, September 19th. The presentations will be on Friday the 20th. The current events presentation assignment is for the eighth graders only; sixth graders will NOT be doing this assignment.
