September 10th - 14th

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Lesson plans have been posted for this week.  It will be necessary to retest the explorers test.  Everyone will retest, there is no option to take the original grade.  The retest will take place Wednesday.

Progress reports will go home Tuesday along with the recovery plan.

The recovery plan can be found on the handout page and a link to lesson plans on the lesson plan page.

Recovery Plan

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Many students have requested opportunities for extra credit, and others need extra assistance to recover incomplete work and low tests.  To meet student needs I have designed a recovery plan.  This plan will be given to students when progress reports are given on Tuesday.

Recovery will take place in room 405 6th period and/or after school until 4 PM on Thursdays.  (Students may bring a brown bag lunch if they choose to attend 6th period, and a snack if they choose to attend after school.)

*The time must be scheduled with me prior to the day of attendance so that a recovery plan can be created for the student.

The recovery plan may include, but is not limited to:

  • completion of missed assignments
  • extra guided assignments or research
  • retest
  • reading strategies
  • note taking strategies
  • extra credit project

The recovery plan is created at the discretion of the teacher and is individualized to best help the student achieve success.

Students who fully participate, and complete their recovery plan, will also receive a 100 responsibility grade for their efforts.
