Thursday, September 25th

Hey Class,

A few quick reminders about the flow of the day for tomorrow.

Tomorrow you'll enter the classroom by 8:05, you'll start the morning off by reviewing math with Ms. Miranda. We won't have a blast from the past. At 8:20 we will head down to the auditorium.

One of my good friends will be coming (along with 15 of her students!!) to talk to you about the high school she teaches at. The school is at the Roosevelt Campus, on Fordham Road. The website is below! Do some research and come prepared with questions!

The presentation to RECRUIT YOU will last from 8:30-9:30. We'll head up for the Writing block and then transition to ELA. In ELA you'll take your math quiz instead of an English Energizer. We'll hand back your informational essay revisions (I have them in my bag to edit tonight!!) and write our final drafts. I spoke with Mr. Bissonnette, and hopefully we'll get to type them up on the iBooks! (Cross your fingers!)

Everyone was so impressed with your amazing behavior with the 100 Book Challenge advisor this afternoon. Be very proud of yourselves for an excellent step! I know Ms. Miranda and I will hear about your excellence from other teachers for the next few days.

Please remember, you need to come to school prepared every single day. This means:
-your planner is filled out and signed by an adult
-you've read at least two steps (four on the weekend)
-homework for EVERY subject is complete

After helping a few people with math after school, I want to remind all of you to study for the quiz tomorrow. The biggest problem we seem to have is RUSHING through the problems. Take your time, check your work. Don't make silly mistakes. If you have questions tonight please feel free to let us know.

Proud to be your teacher,
Ms. Skrzypchak
