Peppler’s Classroom Blog

My apologies for the absence of any entries until now.  I arrived back to school two days late (yesterday was my first day back) due to some unexpected travel delays.  I’ve been trying to catch up since coming back…

Hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break with family and friends.

Tuesday and Wednesday, students worked on their outlines for the ad comparison paper and studied for the next vocab quiz, which has now been postponed to next Monday, January 8th.  Thursday and Friday they had portions of the class periods to work in the computer labs to draft the body of their paper, and I reviewed topic sentences and transitions and asked them to look carefully at these as they continued to work.

Monday, they will have their quiz and we will go over final exam stuff (i.e. what will be on it and how they should study).  Tuesday, we’ll return to the papers and discuss intros, conclusions, and revision.  Papers will likely be due next Friday, Jan. 12.

For the parents, I will be updating my gradebook soon, so ParentConnect should reflect those changes in the next few days.  Thanks for your patience!
