THEORY
This week’s theory assignment is a review of the first four theory assignments.  You will find it on Classmarker on Monday.

The gradebook has been updated. Make sure you are keeping up on homework and turning in your work.  The end of the grading period is this Friday, September 22.

MATTRESS FUNDRAISER: ENTERTAINMENT
The link will come out via SignUpGenius this week for our entertainers. If you are interested, sign up. All performers must perform for me Tuesday or Wednesday at lunch next week.

LISTENINGS
Even if you are absent, you are expected to keep up on your listening assignments.  There is a page on this site where you can listen to any missed examples.  Click here to go there now.  Remember, blogging is worth 20% of your grade.  Make sure you get it done.

If you missed the first peer edit last Friday, you MUST attend the makeup on Tuesday at lunch.  We will start promptly at 12:05 pm.  Please plan to be there.

MISSING WORK

New this time: we will run a concurrent meeting in Room 92 for our Spanish-speaking parents!  The same information will be given...just in Spanish.  Note: we will need the help of students to present this meeting.  If you speak Spanish fluently and are willing to help present the topics of the meeting, please tell me. You will receive community service in exchange for your time!
