Advisory

Advisory Schedule:

Students may bring homework that needs to be finished, notes or a book to study, or an independent reading book if they are all caught up on their school work. I will meet with students individually each week to check their grades, talk to them, and help them set academic goals. Students are expected to come to class with their reading material. Students may read a book, magazine or the newspaper. Students will keep track of their reading using a Scholastic Reading Log. Students will participate in a school-wide mini test to assess their skills in Math, English, Science and Social Studies. When students finish, they may use the rest of the time for independent study or reading. Students voted during the first week of advisory and decided to spend their Choice Day discussing current events, and tough topics in our society. This may include issues taking place in our school or in the greater community. Conversations will be supported with CNN features, and news articles.
