"Words are our most
inexhaustible source of magic."
-J.K. Rowling
Is it possible that Q1 will close in just three weeks? Apparently, yes. I was so busy I didn’t notice the weeks flying by. Heads up - I close my grades a week early. That means that all work needs to be submitted by the end of the school day on October 9th. No. Exceptions. I mean, I have to preserve my sanity somehow. I need those extra seven days to get it all together. The upside is it makes for a very nice actual quarter close and a bit of a head start on our second quarter. I think everyone will appreciate it, once they get used to it. In the meantime, if you’re a student, check your grades. If you’re a parent, check your kid’s grades. Just to keep us all in sync, I’ll be doing the same thing, checking grades.
Two big-point assignments hit my grade book just before it closes: Writer’s Notebooks (October 1st) and Independent Reading (October 7th.) And while grading is not typically in my top five things to do on weekends, I cannot wait to read those QuickWrites! Comments are closed.
