Academy Plans for April 20th through 24th, 2015

Greetings!

Hope you had a chance to enjoy the glorious weather this weekend!  And that you have by now received your student's report card in the mail.  If not, please contact the TMS Office at (360) 264-3644.  Now on to this week's plans:

MONDAY & TUESDAY--First of all, I was quite disappointed in the rough drafts the students turned in on the first trait.  These should have been AT LEAST A FULL PAGE LONG.  I am having almost all of them REDO THIS ASSIGNMENT.  I'm giving them time in class Monday & Tuesday to do this.  Here is where I need YOUR HELP.  PLEASE EDIT YOUR STUDENT'S DRAFT TUESDAY NIGHT before he/she turns it in on Wednesday.  (Parent Brooke Hart gets the gold metal for this!  She is an amazing editor; you should see Drew's rough draft--it is a work of art.)

WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY--Students will work on the rough draft for Trait #2.  This will be DUE FRIDAY.  Again, please EDIT THIS FOR YOUR STUDENT THURSDAY NIGHT before it is turned in on Friday.

FRIDAY--Ms. Benek will be coming in for the weekly "Say It Straight" lesson, so NO HOMEWORK.

I know a lot of the students are participating in baseball, fast pitch, soccer, etc., so that's why I'm trying to work around the practice & games schedules you may have in your home right now.  But please help your student with these assignments; they are very important at teaching them both reading (finding three examples from the text to support their opinions) as well as being able to write a persuasive essay.  Thank you for your help in advance.

Have a wonderful week, and please contact me right away if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns.  The phone number in the classroom is (360) 264-3644 and the best email address to reach me at is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us
