SUCCULENT SOCIETY!
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. 

Please bring shovels, spades, and gardening gloves if you have them (make sure your name is on them!) Be prepared: we might go over into lunch. Rain or shine!

Meet in my classroom so that we can leave your stuff secure and so we can get everyone signed in (and therefore no advisory except for those working in the garden).

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK
This week's homework is on scales/solfege syllables.  Get the assignment done before this week's quiz and your class will automatically get 2 XCR points!

Because we had Monday off, this week's quiz will be on Friday (not Thursday).

TOUR
Students going on tour: please come to an important meeting on Tuesday at lunch.  Bring planners!

BLOG PEER EDIT FRIDAY
Three weeks of school have already passed and it's time for a peer update!  Please make sure that you're ready and that you're not missing anything.  Not sure?  Check the listening page!

GRADE FIX FORM
Grades have been updated (it's my new semester resolution) and are now calculating.  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.

Remember, I only work on grades on Wednesdays and Sundays, so do not expect an instant update.  Please allow a week for the update to reflect.

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 Kathie Nguyen, who sings in Choral Union.  Kathie is completely focused on the task at hand, always doing her best with a lovely voice to boot!
