ONLINE INFORMATION FORM
The following people didn't complete the form (and therefore have an F in class!). Go to tinyurl.com/lcsingerinfo to get it filled out NOW!

SUCCULENTS!
Want a plant and didn't get one the first time?  I will have pots and plants for you if you wish to grow a plant!  Come get yours at lunch on Monday!

For those who want community service: we are going to work on updating Ms. Cahn's memorial garden by the Lincoln Center.  Here's the rough plan:

Tuesday, 1/22:  Pull weeds, clean, [temporarily] remove river rocks
Wednesday, 1/23:  Amend soil, prepare area for planting,
Tuesday, 1/29:  Plant and spread mulch
Wednesday, 1/30:  Hold in case of need

You will earn one hour of community service per session.  Be prepared: we might go over into lunch.

WRITING ASSESSMENT
I am very pleased with how well the assessment went last week.  If you were not in class or unable to take it, please plan to attend the make-up at lunch on Tuesday 1/14.  It will probably take most of lunch; plan accordingly.

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK
Our next Music History component comes this week: the Classical Period.  Bring a highlighter to class with you and be ready to hear about the characteristics of this period.  Get the assignment done before this week's quiz and your class will automatically get 5 XCR points!

GRADE FIX FORM
If something is wrong with your grade, please fill this form out:  tinyurl.com/gradefixes. You'll receive an email when I've addressed your concern. It is never too late to fix an incorrect grade.

The Unsung Hero is someone who has selflessly gone above and beyond to help, inspire and be a positive example in class for others.

This week's hero is Elise Spencer, who sings in Chamber Chorale.  As well as having a lovely voice, Elise is a hard worker who is always 100% invested in doing her best in class!
