Lots to discuss today:
Syllabus
Make sure you get your parents to sign the syllabus and have it turned in by Friday (9/12). Those of you who turn in on time will receive points. Put a reminder in your phone or whatever you need to do to remember as I need signatures and contact info from each of your parents.
Where Are You??
Please sign out on the board in the back of the class EVERY TIME you leave to go to the office, restroom, etc. You do not need to sign out only if heading to a scheduled content area class, or mesa college class.
Also, please DO NOT use the back door
Laptops
You now have assigned laptops. You can see the list posted on the blog. Please use ONLY your laptop. You will be responsible for taking care of and charging your laptop, as well as putting them away NEATLY in the laptop cart. You are now able to take laptops home, but remember you are responsible for any damage. Your parents have already signed a waiver regarding your liability for any damaged, lost, or stolen laptops. You make consider purchasing a charger if you plan to frequently take laptops home, as chargers will not leave the cart.
Independent Reading Books
We will be having a book check next Wednesday, where you will get credit for bringing in your independent reading book. Please have a hard copy or electronic copy to show me by next Wednesday (9/17). I'm going to be writing down and taking record of everyone's book they will be presenting. Only books on the list will be accepted, please do not ask. If you would like to try and check out books from the supply here in the conference room please check with me first as other teachers may need class sets.
Today we will also discuss the instructions for your presentations of your book. Written instructions can be found under book reviews - presentation instructions
SAT/ACT Test Dates
SAT Test dates are available here. Remember SDSU and may other state schools, and universities around the country will not accept scores for tests taken after Nov. 8th. Registration deadline for the next test is Friday (9/12).
ACT Test Dates available here. Understand the differences between the ACT and SAT. Most schools take the top score from either. Next test is October 25th, which may be your last chance. Registration ends on Sept 19th.
