FYI - the columns are up for each assignment but just because yours might be blank only means it has not been graded.

Your reading log will be due on Friday and you will start a new one for May.
We will have Zoom meetings Tuesday and Thursday.

Good Morning April 21 Tuesday

So your first essay is almost at it's deadline and from the ones I have already read you have really written some fantastic 4 paragraph essays.  I do hope that the video helped you with at least one idea to curb procrastination.
 
So today I offer the next video for another four paragraph essay answering the same questions with the same length answers as yesterday.
 
Today's essay is achieving goals using the S.M.A.R.T. method...

HAPPY Sunday everyone -
Please take a look at your grades.  If you think you turned something in that has an empty box please just resend - either I missed our you did not turn it in.
 
EITHER way any work sent to me will be graded and posted.
 
PLEASE look later for the week's "events" and Zoom invites.
ENJOY your day!

Happy Friday My People

Happy Friday Everyone -
A few Friday notes -
1. Rest, relax and enjoy this time with your family.  Do a little reflection of how special this time is.  Hopefully in your lifetime you will never have this quiet time again - so play Monopoly, cards - learn how to make bread ( I am through YouTube!)
2. Grades are not even close to being up to date but they will be by Sunday.  I am learning how to use three screens and how at all odd hours of the day you guys send me your assignments.  I don't care.  Just send em.
3.  Zoom invites will go to your email or if you do not have one your parent's email.  I will list the times Sunday night but everyone count on getting up bright and early Tuesday and Thursday and be available from 9-10 am for special content from me.
4. Finally, thank you to Jamison M. who figured out how you can watch "The Outsiders"  for free on the link that is posted prior to this one. ***
 
One more note: You guys are doing great! I am so proud of how you have gotten on this course of learning that no one ever thought would come and are completing (at all hours of the night!lol) your assignments.
 
Stay healthy -  get some sunshine - enjoy your families!
I will be in touch Sunday night -
 
With deep respect for all of my students -
Mrs. Leibfried :)

LA/7 Announcements Periods 1,2,3,5 Week of April 13-17 **Please Read Carefully***

Good Morning,
I trust you all had a nice weekend and if you celebrated Easter it was lovely if not quite normal.  I have some announcements for everyone on this post then will be posting assignments on the next post.
 
1.  I have had numerous emails regarding grading and if I received your comprehension questions, letters etc.  I have had many of you demand that I fix your grade because you sent your assignment in.
 
Please realize the following:
I have over 250 emails still pending - to open and read and post grades.  As might imagine it is a huge task and I will complete all of this by tomorrow at 3.
Please realize that I was creating instructional videos for you this morning and participated in a Zoom meeting with District this morning as well.  I have a myriad of duties on top of your grading.
 
For those of you waiting for assignments for the week I had to wait until my assignment was given to me by the Zoom meeting until I could post - I will do that as soon as I am done here.
 
I know you guys are going through a lot.  I am too.  I have never "cheated" a student out of the grade they deserved nor have I ever ignored emails sent to me in 19 years....so please take it easy on me.
 
I am doing beyond my best to get you all what you need in a time of crisis.  I will prevail and so will you.  Let's all start with the word "please" and end with "thank you" when you send emails - Additionally, when I give a 12:00 deadline for assignments to be due please DO NOT post your assignment at 9 PM. Post them when they are due...and not three days late.  Be respectful of my time please and I will respect yours.
 
The next set of assignments will be posted in 10 minutes.
Stay well,
Respectfully,
Mrs. Leibfried
