Greetings,

This is our first full week of the third nine weeks grading period. 

AVID Students:

We have been working on our binders.  I suggested students purchase a 3-inch EZ Rings binder.  This is a durable binder that should last for the remainder of the year.  The binder is available at Office Max, and possibly other stores such as Staples.

We created a flip book for SLANT. 

Students recorded notes on the STAR Notetaking Strategy.

We will have a celebration Friday for students who have not received a mark on their behavior card as well as a binder celebration.

Journalism:

We are in the process of selecting a title for the newspaper.  Please encourage fellow students to take the survey on the McClure homepage. 

Students will need to complete their picture for the press pass.

Please download the form and insert your picture. Download student_journalist.xls

Thanks
