We are fast approaching the end of the quarter. This means different things for different grades. For the 8th grade and graphic design, we are halfway though the semester course. There will be an exam on Wednesday October 30th. The 7th grade is 2/3rds through their term. They will have an exam on Wednesday October 30th also on their drawing unit. 6th grade will be at the end of their rotation. They do not have an exam but everything that they have done in class will be due on the 30th.
I will be out of the building October 21-25 except for Wednesday. Students will be continuing their work or learning new things during these four days. Upon my return we will wrap up the quarter in 6th and 8th grades (7th grade ends in 3 weeks)
