Unfortunately, because I was out for the couple of days I do not have a lot of grades for the students. Right now students should have a homework grade for Fiction and Nonfiction notes and a project grade. (We have been presenting for a couple of days.) If they did not do their homework or the project, then they are failing my class. Progress reports will be going home next week.
Thanks,

Reading
Everyone should have a novel to read by the end of the day. Students are required to read 30 novels this school year for my class. I know that it seems like a lot but I am allowing students to chose their own books. We will also have time in class everyday to read. I am looking forward to this reading challenge and sharing novels with the students. I hope this provides a reading community for each child. Hopefully, this will encourage them to become life long readers.
Thanks,
Mrs. King

Autobiography Project
Autobiography Assignment: Due Friday
Students are required to come up with a project that is a “quick” autobiography of their lives. This is a great way for students to share things about themselves that others may not know.
Students may create posters, cubes, PowerPoints or use Glogster EDU to share their information.
If you are using Glogster your usernames and passwords will be ready Tuesday.
Glogster EDU is a tool to create online multimedia “posters” that can incorporate all types of elements into a visual space: links, images, text, videos, music, and more. Students will have multiple ways to express themselves and to learn from each other, making it easy to differentiate and engage each student. The ad-free EDU community offered by Glogster is designed to alleviate the problems of inappropriate content and contact with “outsiders” not welcome in my class’s electronic community.
Autobiography Project Requirements:
1. All sides or spaces consist of information about your life.
2. Objects that represent you/your life are put inside of biocube or brought to class. Student must have at least two objects. See me about pictures for powerpoints and Glogster.
3. Makes excellent use of font, color, graphics/pictures, effects, etc. to enhance project.
4. Product shows a large amount of original thought. Ideas are creative and inventive.

Open Gym
Unfortunately, I have to cancel open gym again. I woke up this morning sick and will not be able to attend. Next week, I have a teacher workshop so I will not be able to have it then either. I think at this point that I need to cancel open gym for the summer and start back up during the school year. I am sorry for the inconvenience! Ladies continue to practice at home.

Volleyball
Hi girls! I wanted to inform you about a volleyball camp that BCC is having in July. This would be a great opportunity for you to learn the basic volleyball skills and rules. I highly recommend that you attend. For those of you that already know how to play, this would be an opportunity for you to "brush up" on your skills.
BCC Volleyball Camp
July 19-20, 9am-12pm
Ages 9-17
Price $75.00
Come join BCC Women's Volleyball Conference Champs as they host Volleyball Camp. This camp is for the beginner to intermediate player, focusing on basic volleyball skills and rules. Girls will learn proper fundamentals, which are the key to becoming a successful volleyball player. Each player will leave camp with the knowledge of team work. Knee pads are not required but encouraged.
(They offer other great camps this summer! Check out their summer camp flyer on the BCC website!)
I will also hold an open gym this summer on Wednesday mornings from 8am-11am. Please check my website in case I can not make it every Wednesday. Starting Next Wednesday :)
Please share this with your friends!
