The beginning is always today -- Mary Wollstonecraft

We continued writer's conferences on Friday.

Be ready for your conference with me on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Due date for portfolio has been extended by one day, until Wednesday. Everyone worked so well in class that you get another day to do it!

Please take your time with your essay and reflection. Your opinion of yourself matters. A lot. So, take it seriously. This will be your first grade of second semester and everyone should be able to get a good one!

Report cards are sent home next week. You should all know your grades by now. Remember that a letter or number grade does not say everything about you and your work. That is why the portfolio reflection is so important. In it, you can say exactly how much you think you have learned and how far you have come. It is your opportunity to talk about yourself; your perspective is the one that matters.

See you Tuesday! Inauguration Day.
