We will be continuing speeches through the end of the school year. I forgot to add that there will also be a 50 point grade for the poetry project added to PASS. Mrs. Weatherlow and I are in the midst of grading those and students will get them back next week. All essay grades are now on PASS. Have a great weekend!

Today we began speeches! We will continue with speeches for the remainder of the year.
The grades we have left to be put on PASS include: the positive influence essay (100 pts), the speech and paragraph (25 pts), the last sentence corrections I collected (20 points), and the kindness pargraphs (20 pts). I am working on finishing the 100 pt. essays first. They will be returned to everyone and put on PASS by the end of the week. Once the grades are up, your 4th quarter grade is final.
