Greek Mythology

Oh yes...it's that time ladies and gentleman. End of the year? Yes. Time to party? Not quite. As Dorothy once said: "We're not in Kansas anymore," I'm reminded of your comments after CRCT testing- aren't we finished already? We took the test! Well, sorry to break the news to you 6th graders, but you "aren't in elementary school anymore." Your mythology project is an IN CLASS project this week and all of next week. If you use your class time wisely there is no reason for you to have to work on this at home. You will need to use your computer time wisely because we only have a few set computer days. Suggestion- if you need to research and/or type bring a flash drive to school so you can save and finish at home. Your DEADLINE for all parts of your project- NEXT FRIDAY- 5/20- no exceptions. You were given your "Think tac toe" boards, a direction sheet with a rubric, and materials yesterday in the computer lab. PLEASE KEEP UP WITH YOUR STUFF!!! Put your name on everything and do not leave them behind. We cannot keep running of second (and sometimes third!) copies of your materials.
Show me your best work, have fun, and "knock my socks off." This should be the best work you've done all year- no slacking allowed.

Projects- Please Read

Projects (ABC books) are officially late. They were due last Friday. The extension gave you until today. 10 points off each day they are late. Projects WILL NOT be accepted after Friday. Period.

We are beginning our unit on mythology...and yes, this is another project grade. However, you will have class time to complete the assignments if you use your time wisely. The goal? Finish this unit by Friday 13th. By the way- your final for my class is the last day of school. I will post the schedule for each final (last three days). If you know you will be leaving for break and will not be at school you MUST make arrangements to take the final early- it is your last grade and it counts.

Extra credit? If you have completed ALL OTHER WORK with nothing missing I am considering an extra credit assignment for you. Stay tuned...

Lots of important days to remember coming up. See your homeroom for details on: talent show (tomorrow night) field day, honors night, yearbook signing and much, much more. Don't forget to pay your cafeteria and library fines.
