Hello Core Class Community!
First of all, you are all awesome. Thank you for being patient and flexible with me as I take this leave from school to take another leap on life's journey to welcome a new human being into my family's life.
The following is the only blog post I am going to make while I am gone. I want to fill you in on what to expect in terms of calendar stuff, field studies, homework, and grades.
Much of this is the exact same as what I shared in class on Friday, 10/5, but I wanted to put it into writing in case anyone forgot...
If you need to get in touch with Jeff via email to advocate for yourself or to share some work his email is t.jeffkessler@gmail.com
READ DAILY FOR 20-30 MINUTES!!!!!!
Grades:
This is the most current Grade Assignment Spreadsheet - Updated 10/14/18. This is a good indication of your progress in Term 1. Any missing work or resubmitted work should be turned into my HW Bin by 10/26 (the last day of Term 1). I will update this Grade Assignment Spreadsheet again on October 29th (the final grading day for Term 1) after working with Jeff to review your core class work during the two weeks you will be with him before the end of the term and after reviewing your E-Core, Writer's Workshop, and Reading journals. Make sure all 3 of your core class journals are turned by Friday, October 26th!!!

A Note on Term 1 Service:
Because Michael did not do a good enough job making space to introduce, explain, and set expectations for service LEARNING with our current core class, you do not have any service reflections due in Term 1. This is the Service Learning Term 1 Reflection, but completing this is not required. You can turn this in by Friday, October 26th for Extra Credit. Know that you will have extended expectations for Term 2 + 3 + 4 that Michael will help to set once he returns. Any and all service learning completed in Term 1 will count towards future service learning expectations and reflections. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.
No school Monday, October 29th - Term 1 Grading Day
I will update this blog again on Monday, October 29th with info on what is going down for me in Baby Land, when I am returning to SES (currently this is unclear as I am waiting to see when my baby will arrive!), and what you can expect in the weeks ahead as we start Term 2.
