Update 10-11-12

Homework for this week is posted on the right.  There's a reading log, study island assignment, and a character analysis activity.  All homework is due on Thursday, October 18th.  The reading log includes homework directions for the week.  Students will need to log into Study Island in order to complete the theme/verb/adjective assignment.  The directions to login are below:

• www.studyisland.com
• Login:  lunch number@huntergt      Password:  lunch number
• Click on B1 or B2 (depending on class you are in)
• Click on Theme/verb/adjective homework
• When complete be sure to click on ”turn in test” in left hand column.  This assignment requires 70% mastery. 

***Assignment must be completed by 9:30 am on Thursday, October 18^th. 

In an attempt to save costs, I will no longer be handing out hard copies of homework (except for those who do not have computers).  If you did not receive homework through an email, please be sure to send me your email or emails so that I can include you in the Friday mailings with homework attached.  You can always print the homework from the blog too.

Students will be receiving a newly formatted Student Report (conduct/academic) on Monday.  I will be sending these home bi-monthly.  I will also be including graded assessments for your review.  Many of these assessments will have a sign and return stamp on them.  I will continue to send these assessments home as long as they are returned.  I need to include these in their portfolios.  

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  

I'd like to thank each of you for sharing your child with me.  We are having a great year!

Homework/Remind 101

Thank you to everyone who responded and is willing to print the homework from the blog.  One concern that I have heard is "Will I remember to print the homework?"  In response to that concern, along with posting the homework on the blog on Friday mornings, I will also form an email group and email the homework to anyone who requests to be included homework email group.  Please send me an email pfoster1@wcpss.net if you'd like to receive your child's homework by email.

To clarify:  Students will be printing their homework at home beginning this week.  It will be posted on the blog on Friday by noon.  You will also have the opportunity to have homework emailed to you. Please email me any email addresses you'd like the homework sent to weekly.  pfoster1@wcpss.net   I will also send out a Remind101.com reminder weekly.

I apologize for the confusion in B2 regarding signing up for Remind101.com.  There was a type in the paragraph but the screen shot of the information was correct.

Upon reading this blog message have your child write me a note stating how they will not receive their homework copies (by printing at home -- parents can check the blog and/or receive the homework via email).  Any child who brings me a note regarding the homework on or before Friday, October 12th will receive a surprise.
