Weekend Update

Hi, all. I hope your weekend gets off to a great start. Be ready for our first FULL week of school next week. Excited?! :)

Check the newly updated "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links to the right in order to prepare for next week when you can.

Reminders for the weekend:

**All 53 Key Literary Terms note cards must be completed by this coming Monday. Even if you are confused about examples and/or pictures, at least give it a shot! We'll be talking about each card (and correcting when needed) all week next week in order to clarify information. Be aware that we tentatively have scheduled our first test (over these terms) on Monday, Sept. 17.

**Feel free to begin your reading of To Kill a Mockingbird now that you have the text in your possession. It is not required, since we'll officially start on Monday. Just a suggestion!

**Bring at least 8-10 extra blank note cards to class on Monday for our first Latin/Greek roots lesson of the trimester. We'll be making another handful of simple flash cards in class that day!

That's it for now, guys. PLEASE let me know if you have any questions, concerns, and or/comments. I'm all ears. Take care!

Welcome, Everyone!

Greetings, everyone. I'm really looking forward to working with all of you and, of course, getting to know you more as students AND as people.

If at ANY TIME, you have questions, concerns, comments, etc., PLEASE feel free to contact me via the email address listed below. Of course, you could always simply talk to me face to face in class as well...:)

Let's get off to a GREAT start this week!
