March Madness

March is here and it will be over before you know it. We only have 7 more teaching days left in March! Here are some things to know...

The play is set. We will be doing a daytime and nighttime performance on Wednesday, April 2. Seating will be limited. Please encourage your actors to practice projecting their lines at home. We are also looking for any appropriate 60s and 90s costumes. For the 60s, I'm looking for your old hippie garb. Think leather vests with fringe, bandanas and floral scarves, bell bottoms, peace patches and the like. For the 90s, I'm looking for any appropriate concert t-shirts from the decade, plaid shirts, baby doll dress, and doc martens.

I handed our a science project outline today. They should have it in their agendas. There will not be a regular homework book/reading response for the next two weeks. For homework tonight, I have asked them to read the outline and to write out the steps that they will have to follow in order to complete the project. We will discuss these steps and time management tomorrow.

I am renewing our use of agendas. I've asked everyone to make a concerted effort to have them here tomorrow. Some are worried that they have lost them. I've asked them to take another look or to see if they have something else at home that could work. Otherwise, I will replace it with a notebook tomorrow. Please remember that they should be writing down their 20 mintues of reading and getting it signed by one of you.

Thanks!
