All Classes - Read Here!

Periods 3 & 5 - Be sure to bring your "You're a Star" necklace and your bandana wristband for your Cambridge exam on Thursday.  We will replenish the other items on test day :)  There is a post after this one that has your HW in it!  Be sure you see it!!!!

Periods 1, 2, 4, and 6 - For our field trip on Wednesday, you will need to do the following:

1.  Bring $3!  We did not know the museum charges.  If you can't make this happen, please let us know ahead of time; we can help.  We are bringing you bagged lunches, so you will not need money for food...unless you want something in the museum's cafe'.

2.    Our gentlemen need to wear dress pants, a collared shirt, tie, and dress shoes.  Our young ladies need to wear either dress pants, a dress shirt, and a dressy pair of shoes.  If you wear a dress, it cannot be short.  Anything two inches above the knee is not allowed.   You cannot wear tank tops or spaghetti straps.  Your shoes should be comfortable because we are doing a lot of walking.

3. Bring some type of camera or your phone, as your assignment requires you take photos!  Remember, you cannot use your phone for calls or texts while at the museum or memorial!

4.  We need your field trip form! Bring it signed by your parents, please.

5.   Check back on Monday night to see if you are on our list to attend.  We are going through the list Monday morning (yes, on our day off) to see who's eligible to attend.

Now for your HW:  You need to do your enjambment poem ( a minimum of 8 lines).  CLICK HERE for a sample (one of my favorite poems).  You will see the lines aren't complete thoughts; in the middle of a phrase or sentence, e.e. cummings goes to the next line (so it's jammed up).  You will also notice he takes some liberties with his punctuation and grammar GPS.  (Finally, you can use a lowercase "i" for the pronoun "I.")  Have fun with this!   This is due on Tuesday for first period, and our even day students have to turn it in on Wednesday before we leave on our trip. 


We are looking forward to our last two weeks together!  Remember that we love you!
