Marking Period 2

Dear students and parents,

The second marking period is upon us and I'm very excited about some of the changes and new programs that will be integrated into our ELA classes.

SnapGrades - SnapGrades is an online gradebook where students and parents can log in to view their progress in class. I will give you all your login accounts so you can check your progress any day of the week. I hope to accomplish this in the next few weeks.

Renzulli - Renzullilearning.com is an exciting website where students create a learning profile and find thousands of activities geared to their interests and needs. I will take each of my classes to the computer lab to sign up for this website. Every class should create a profile by Friday, November 21.

Book Talks - Book Talk #4 will be due on Monday for all classes. Students should follow the book talk format for this assignment. By the end of next week, I hope to create an independent menu of different book talks, where students can respond to their books creatively.

I look forward to the new marking period. Exciting changes are coming!
