Almost Done!

Posted on May 20, 2010 by jculver

Almost done with the portfolio grading and hey, we are almost done with school too!  I have had a wonderful year. This year’s 9th graders have been some of the brightest I’ve ever had the pleasure to teach.  Thank you!

Reminder:

Benchmark is next Wednesday.

Patience

Posted on May 12, 2010 by jculver

is a virtue. Parents and students, please be patient while I grade the portfolios. I have 151 students; therefore I have 151 portfolios to grade. 🙂 It takes a little while. Thank you!

Portfolio Projects Due TOMORROW

Posted on May 4, 2010 by jculver

Worth 400 points.  100 pts off each day it’s late, since we have devoted so much time working on this…no one has any excuse not to turn it in on time.  Good luck! I’m sure you will do fine! Can’t wait to see them!

grkship-poseidenToday we finished part one of The Odyssey. Hope you enjoyed the disgusting account of how the Cyclops lost his eyeball!  Nice imagery, hmm?  Tomorrow we will watch a little of the Odyssey video.  Friday is our last computer day so make the most of it.

Parents, I am caught up with grading (for now at least! 🙂 ). Feel free to email me at jculver@shelbyed.k12.al.us if you need to check on  a grade or if you have any questions.

Hi parents! I am a little behind in grading, so don’t worry about your child’s grades tonight (Tuesday). I should be caught up by tomorrow! Thanks for understanding!

PS Check on your child’s progress with his/her portfolio project, which is due next Wednesday for 400 points!
