August 26, 2008- Homework: 1st and 3rd periods, correct tests and have them signed tonight. Several students have requested extra credit work.

You may also bring the print out from the Internet, but that will not count as a report. Reports must be presented orally or in the form of a "show me" (mini) poster.

Homework: 1- Write a journal entry entitled "The First Day of 7th Grade" (100+ words). This could be about one part of your day, your feelings (and maybe how they changed--or proved true), about new friends/old friends, just one aspect of this day, or a "run-down" of the whole day. You decide!
2- Have your "letter to parents/guardians" signed. Remember that these assignments will count as two homework grades (on time= 100 points, late work= 70 points). The journal entry is a rough draft, but remember to have someone proofread your journal entry. Start the year off right by completing all assignments on time! Keep up the great attention and polite conduct you showed today! Good job!
