Vacation!

     Happy vacation, everyone!
     I know that you must be thrilled to be on break, and I hope that you enjoy it. :)  I've gotten a few e-mails about your work, and I had already planned to post a note about it. So, the deal is that yes, you do have reading and vocab due this week (so please post on Friday, or Thursday night if you don't want to do it exactly Friday), but no, you do not have to blog.  The reason that School Loop lists blog posts for this week is that the assignments are posted to repeat every Tuesday and Thursday.  So you can just ignore those, but do post your 80-100 pages of reading and your vocab words.  A clarifying comment about the Friday posts.  Please make sure that you keep track of the pages where you find your vocabulary words, and remember that part of that post is to tell me what pages you read in the past week.  Lastly, remember that your Tuesday and Thursday blogs are due by 2:15 pm on those days, and while I will not always be reading them on those afternoons, in the event that I do and yours are not posted, they will be marked late.  I know that happened with a few people this week.
     As of now, your grades are updated.  If you have late work, it must be made up during vacation. In the event that you post this week, please send me an e-mail to alert me to check your blog.  And remember, you chose these topics so that they would be inspiring to read and write about.  I really hope that they are and that you are enjoying yourself, but we also need to be realistic about this being a graduation requirement and that being another motivating factor in getting your work done.
      I hope we're all on the same page about the course, but please e-mail me with any questions.
                                                                                     Enjoy vacation, and happy reading! :)
