Winter Break Update - 12/29/11

Hello to you all!

I hope you are enjoying your break. 
Time away allows us to reflect and appreciate...and I appreciate you!

This is the last update for the 2011 portion of our school year.  If you thought the last few months went by fast - wait until we get back and build momentum - this school year is flying by!

Please make sure you are reading independently and updating your status and progress on goodreads.  I am still "liking" reviews that meet expectations - please see the checklist handout with the example, sample, template.  Make sure your review(s) are authentic and worthwhile.

See you on Tuesday 1/3/12.  We will ease on into our Response to Literature unit.  Get ready!
Tutoring/Office Hours will resume on Tuesday after school.  Please take advantage of the time.

Work is being graded, scored, and updated at a pace that I can handle.
If you have specific questions - please approach me and we will take care of any concerns. 
The semester ends in four weeks - please take care of yourself, your time, and your work ethic/effort to make the strides that are needed.  You grade is earned, not given. 
Be the student I know you can be!

Extra Credit (see previous post and link) is extended to Monday 1/9.  Lucky you!

Here is to a year of success, health, and happiness.  Happy New Year!

Yours Truly,

Samakosky
