Welcome to Summer Quarter!
A few important notes:
- Don't you love switching classes? Ms. S will teach Language Arts and Math and Mr. Davis will teach Social Studies and Sciences. Get excited!
- Report cards will be available to you by this Friday (unofficial version until the princiapl signs them). You can check your own grades on Edmodo. But, that does mean that the time frame for making up work is over.
- You will be released at 12noon today.
New Edmodo classes for summer quarter! Ms. S will review the codes so you join them.
As you come in, here is your academic vocab post. A quick note on these - MANY OF YOU ARE NOT DOING THEM! Throughout the quarter, just your vocab blogs are worth 250 points, and then on top of that, you have your quizzes. Vocab is worth a lot and many of you are missing out on these points!
Helpful hints for your vocab blogs -
-- DO THEM!
-- MAKE SURE I HAVE YOUR URL. WITHOUT IT, I CAN'T GRADE ANY OF THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE.
-- MAKE SURE YOU ARE PROPERLY TITLING YOUR BLOG POSTS. I TELL YOU WHAT I WANT EACH ONE TO SAY EACH WEEK. I MIGHT MISS SOMETHING IF IT IS NOT TITLED CORRECTLY.
1) Vocab
In your blogs, complete the following post:
Blog Title - Summer Quarter, Week 1 Definitions & Examples
Assignment - Your vocab words for thi week are:
Proportion (verb, noun) - I need to proportion the pizza to serve more people.
Register (verb, noun) - They registered at Target for their wedding.
