Monday 10/20 - The Start to Quarter 2

Good Morning and Happy Monday.  I am pleased to announce that grades have been posted and finalized in School Loop for the 1st Quarter.  While for some of you this may be exciting and a "feel good moment" for others of you it is a reality check that demonstrates your need to be more organized, stay on top of your work and push a little harder on the academic side of things.

For today's blog, please log into school loop.  Look only at this class and respond to the following questions:

1. What was our primary focus during the 1st quarter?  Think about the different topics we covered and perhaps 3 things you learned over the course of the last 2 months.
2. What, if any, assignments are you currently missing.  Why did you miss these assignments and what can you do (moving forward) to ensure you don't miss future assignments?  If you are not missing any assignments, discuss briefly how you have been successful this year and why you think you have been able to turn in 100% of your work in this class.
3. A lot of students talk about wanting the "opportunity" to go to college but that involves 3 years of dedication and hard work on your end.  Do you feel you have complete control over your success in school?  Why or why not?  How do you believe your grades in high school are connected to your acceptance and/or even your success in college?

Thanks and I will look forward to reading your response.  A reminder that each blog response must be a paragraph which from my understanding includes a minimum of 5 complete sentences.
