Hello,
I am just coming back from a long weekend in California. It will already feel like a short week because of the staff retreat this Thursday and Friday...no school!
Our advising class had a great discussion last week on water resources, bioregionalism, and the end of the world! It was fun. We are starting a unit on hunger and homelessness which means trips to the Food Bank, Dignity Village, and I am trying to arrange a tour of Stumptown Roasters to talk about coffee and fair trade. This will also be punctuated by our Harvest Festival on the 26th and a bowling outing (the kids think that I never arrange anything "fun").
There is another newsletter online and lots of great info.
Other dates and announcements in my classes:
Academic concern letters go out this week
Sound Class: Performance #2 on the 17th. Writing assignment on the U.S. vs. John Lennon due on Monday the 15th.
Musical Theater: Scripts go out to all students today and rehearsal schedule is discussed.
Daily Literacy: New short stories for analysis this week. Critiques get assigned on the 8th and are due next week.
6th Inquiry: note-taking lessons continue with a film next Monday.
Once Upon a Time: Literature assignments due Next Tuesday the 16th. All second assignments/essays for the class must be started and conferenced upon this week.
Advising: PLPs turn into projects soon for the end of the quarter exhibition coming up the first week of November. Class party on November 2nd and reading/discussion/modeling of past portfolio work and examples.
Cheerio!
Kirk
