Sigh of Relief!

We have almost completed week 1!  Students are off to a great start and we had fun getting to know each other this week!  

Students- 

1.  Don't forget to report to the Library on Friday during your class period for Orientation.  

2.  Also don't forget to bring your summer reading novels with you to class on Tuesday (if you still have them!)

3.  Make sure your parents have looked over your syllabus and have signed your parent letter!

Parents-

1.  Open House is next Thursday (September 5th) at 7pm.  I'd love to see you all there!

2.  Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!  

Have a great long weekend! 

It's almost time!!

Just in case a few of you are still working on your 

summer reading essays... (cough, cough)

Here are a few questions that I have gotten through e-mail (cf_mihalyov@cfalls.org) that I thought may be helpful to all of you!

1.  Does the header count in the required word count?  Nope!  Just the actual content of your essay.

2.  Should I use quotes to support?  You are required to support your thoughts.  Quotes are a great way to do that!

3.  Are the essays really due on the first day of school?  Yep!  We will hit the ground running! Be prepared to have them already printed out and ready to hand in on Monday!

4.  Will there be a test over the novels?  There will be one final essay that encompassed all 3 novels within the first couple weeks of school.  

*If any other questions crop up, please feel free to e-mail me!  I'm usually very quick to respond!  Enjoy these last few days of freedom!  :)
