Welcome to the year 2012!!!!

It was great to see all your smiling faces again today. It seemed like this was a great day to ease back into the reality of the middle school world today. WIth that in mind, you have minimal homework tonight. I would encourage you to work on some of the things due later this week so that you are on top of things as the homework load starts picking back up.

1. New Year's GOAL
... On the notecard that was handed out right down what your goal for yourself is for the rest of the year in my core class
...This is similar to a new year's resolution, except it directly relates to your performance in my core class.
...Add an image/color to your word that is on your notecard.
...Be prepared to explain to me how you plan on accomplishing your goal.

DUE WEDNESDAY
