Week of September 4

9/2/2018

 
And just like that, it's September!  Read on for this week's announcements:

BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
It was AWESOME to see so many parents and kids at B2S Night 2018.  I ran out of handouts for the first time ever!  Look for your 10 XCR points as part of your first participation grade in IC (You should be able to see your grades beginning this week).


ADVISORY
Our block schedule (Tuesdays/Wednesdays) begins this week!

You may go to the advisory of any of your teachers; advisory is best-used by visiting with a teacher whose class you're struggling in so that you may get extra help.  You'll be expected to sign in, so have your ID card out and ready for scanning.

Please note that for advisory in Room 91 is a silent study hall.  You are more than welcome to hang out with me, but you will be expected to work quietly the whole time. 


SYLLABUS CONTRACT
Still missing contracts for the following:
Per 2:  Espinoza, Rangel
Per 6:  Aguilar, Trinidad


MATTRESS FUNDRAISER
Now you've all met Sam, and hopefully you distributed all your flyers this weekend!  All ensembles will be performing at the event on September 23.  Stay tuned for when: we will discuss this in class on Tuesday/Wednesday.


CLASSMARKER.COM
This week's homework is on sharps, flats, and naturals.  You will hear the presentation in class on Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on when your class's block day is).  Homework will be available on Tuesday and must be completed before Thursday's quiz.

LISTENING
If you were unable to complete the listening handout because you didn't listen to either of the pieces ("Magic to Do" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman"), please plan to make them up on Wednesday, 9/5 at lunch.  I will begin promptly at 12:03—please be timely.


PERFORMANCE APPAREL
Fittings for performance apparel will take place next week from Tue. 9/11 - Fri. 9/14.

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

This week's hero is Blanca Castillo, who sings in Estetica.  Blanca is the consummate "do right" gal, who was indispensable at B2S Night!
