Monday

Hi class!

It was great to be back.  I missed you all over the long weekend.

Today, our counselor, Julie Stroinski, came in to discuss option schools.  As you are all aware, these schools all have a "specialization" and must be applied for.  Filling out an application does not mean you are guaranteed acceptance.  Unfortunately, these option schools have a lottery system.  If your child is passionate about any of these schools, please check out the district website to attend open houses and fill out an application.  JANUARY 5TH IS THE DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS

This week's "Week in Rap" challenge (I muse have this typed and submitted to me by this Thursday)

Weather Warnings

This week, we covered two stories about a complex weather pattern known as El Niño. The recent flooding on the West Coast and the continued drought in Ethiopia are results of El Niño conditions. For this week's shout out contest, we want you to research these or other dangers of El Niño. Then, create a PSA, or Public Service Announcement. Your PSA could be a commercial, billboard, radio ad or anything that can get people's attention. Be creative as you warn the public and offer advice for how to prepare.

HOMEWORK

Vocab: We didn't get time today to start your WW8.  You will begin this tomorrow.

Math: Differs by class

Writing: We will start your first draft for your precepts paper tomorrow.
