Catch up and get ready to move forward

Goal: Check in, catch up, get ready to move forward.

Agenda:
Read
Reading Progress Form
Join our Remind Class
Catch up day

Read: 

1. Make sure your book is checked out to you. Ask Mrs. R if you aren't sure. 
2. You should be at least 2/3 done with that book by now to stay on track for finishing on time.
3. Fill out the READING PROGRESS FORM.

Join our Remind Class: 

Remind is a tool that lets us communicate safely and easily. I will give you the join code in class. If you have a smartphone you will probably want to get the Remind app. 

Catch Up:
Well, these weeks have been a blur of schedule changes, textbook check outs, assemblies etc. So, today we are going to take a breath, look at where we are, look at what we need to finish, and get ready to move forward next week. See the "Things to be done with" list below.

Do you have all your textbooks? (Have you changed any classes that you need to change books for?)
Have you had your picture taken?
Always check the class blog when you are absent. You are responsible to finding out what you missed before you come asking questions.

Things to be done with:

1. Six word memoir slide. Did you already turn it in in Google Classroom. Did Mrs. R return it with a 1/1 credit? If not then you might need to work on it. 
2. English Journal: 
1. You should have a paragraph about 8th grade English.
2. AOW from 9/1: TWO paragraphs about the article you read last week about climate change and extreme weather. Wondering what your English Journal is? See this post. 
3. STUDENT DATA FORM: There are a few of you still missing this. We will check in with you if you need to do this. 
4. Read "Us and Them" in Formative. Most of you did this. Some of you might like to finish it. 
5. Good with all of the above? You get some extra time to read. Yay, for you!
