Gradebook update: We are getting there. 
Students-- Come by at break and talk if questions. One-on-one communication works!
Parents--If you have a question, it would be great if you would encourage your son/daughter to come in directly to talk to me. They can quickly alert me to individual issues that we can usually take care of during break -- the time I am here in my room hoping to see them. 
Thank you for helping out with our new program and making it work constructively for all of us.

ENGLISH 8 Friday Sept. 9, 2016
Classwork completed:
Handed in worksheet for Insanity Trial.
Completed and turned in Mystery Novel Progress Check #2.

Began writing essay/argument for that trial. You should have been working in your English 8 google docs folder--instructions were on the white board and also given verbally--so that I could see how you were doing on that work. A number of you either did not start that writing or did not put it in your google docs folder.
Move that writing  ASAP into your English 8 google docs folder so I can see how much or whether the majority of your class needs more time.
