a note in my absence...

If you are either a student trying to get caught up or a parent trying to keep up, this note is for you :)

First, my apologies for being absent this week. I have been at meetings and buried behind stacks of papers, but you are not looking for excuses. I do miss you, I promise.

While you are with the substitute teacher you will follow a very simple routine. Quiz. Read. Hw. Repeat. I just updated the class website: www.wix.com/gcoats/gcoats with all the homework. Here is what I posted:

M 10/17: Check Out Novel To Kill a Mockingbird

by the time I return on Monday. You should all be read through chapter 23. The end of 23. Make sure you are keeping up with your chapter summaries, and you are paying attention to what you read! Don't just push from page to page trying to get done. If you aren't understanding take a break, ask a friend, ask a teacher, discuss it with someone, look some of it up online. But don't just keep going! Figure it out, then get back on track.

See you Monday!
