The good news of the day: your kids are committed to writing and spent a good hour engaged in revising their amendment argumentative essays.

The bad news of the day: nearly a third of my 90 students did not complete their small homework assignment for English over the 3 day weekend. In truth, many were finished before the weekend, and they had ample time (today was an extended due date). Far too few of them are using any form of a calendar or other organizational system. Please ask them at home to show you  their "system" for keeping track of due dates etc...  I am allowing for partial credit tomorrow. If you see a reduced score on Skyward, lateness is likely the cause. (On a positive note....if you see a partial score, your student at least cared enough to make amends)

PS their assignment was the first section of their literature circle. Journal and job.
