<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year! I am incredibly excited to begin the year and share it with my CCLS family. This blog is in an important place to get started. Here are a few notes about how to navigate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This main page is where I will post larger announcements that are not necessarily grade/subject specific. I may also leave homeroom information here.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Twitter feed will also appear in the top right corner of the main page. I will do my best to leave reminders, as well as post pictures of activities in real time. You <b>do not</b> need Twitter to get that information. It will always show up on the blog. Of course, you are more than welcome to follow my school account if you already use Twitter.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The links to information on 8th grade Discipleship and Scholastic book information are on this page.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are links at the top for each individual <b>subject</b> area. On those separate blog spaces, I will leave information and pictures. Students, you can use the links on that blog for assignment directions, lost assignments, etc. Parents, I will try and update the blog with information and pictures of what is happening in class. It will also be the place I post most of the technology projects we do in class.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>It would be a help to subscribe to this and each subject blog so you are alerted when I update.</span>Ms. Albershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06637335293145027616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812627170274577052.post-7188530476716311912015-03-09T07:21:00.000-07:002015-03-09T07:21:08.154-07:00Check the history blog!8th grade parents, please check the 8th grade history blog for information about the research paper.

We had amazing results, and I truly had a great time spending practices and meets with these students.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to both the White and the Red team! Sorry that I only have pictures of the team that I coached. We were second in State--which is a truly great achievement!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! I am incredibly excited to begin the year and share it with my CCLS family. This blog is in an important place to get started. Here are a few notes about how to navigate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This main page is where I will post larger announcements that are not necessarily grade/subject specific. I may also leave homeroom information here.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Twitter feed will also appear in the top right corner of the main page. I will do my best to post the homework each afternoon and leave any reminders. You <b>do not</b> need Twitter to get that information. It will always show up on the blog. Of course, you are more than welcome to follow my school account if you already use Twitter.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The links to information on 8th grade Discipleship and Scholastic book information are on this page.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are links at the top for each individual <b>subject</b> area. On those separate blog spaces, I will leave information and pictures. Students, you can use the links on that blog for assignment directions, lost assignments, etc. Parents, I will try and update the blog with information and pictures of what is happening in class. It will also be the place I post most of the technology projects we do in class.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>It would be a help to subscribe to this and each subject blog so you are alerted when I update.</span>Ms. Albershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06637335293145027616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812627170274577052.post-4249913238550391692014-04-23T09:35:00.001-07:002014-04-23T09:48:56.612-07:00Happy 450th birthday, Shakespeare!Ever said <i>for goodness sake</i> or claimed that someone was leading you on a <i>wild goose chase</i>?

I have a few books I have been meaning to read, I will enjoy sleeping a little bit later, and I am excited to spend time with my family. Also important--my mom's cran-apple pie, to which I look forward every year!
Now is a perfect time in the quarter to be checking mykoob and getting in any missing work. It is very easy to get lost between Thanksgiving and Christmas break but make sure you are staying on top of your homework, especially tests and projects at the end of the quarter.
Also, look for a new Scholastic order when we return from Thanksgiving break...perfect timing for Christmas presents! :-)Ms. Albershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06637335293145027616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812627170274577052.post-68621175024452573162013-10-29T07:07:00.000-07:002013-10-29T07:07:00.228-07:00National Cross Country MeetCongratulations to the CCLS teams for their great finishes at Nationals!

Because of this, the schedule has a shortened class that day. There is a test in literature this week and a short class will not be enough time. So, I have switched some of the days around--just for this class.<br />
<br />
Mykoob will be very confusing with these changes so I have the week's schedule and assignments on here.<br />
<br />
<u>Monday--B Day (Literature)</u><br />
test review<br />
<br />
<u>Tuesday--A Day (History)</u><br />
Finish Chapter 11<br />
<br />
<u>Wednesday--B Day <b>(HISTORY)</b></u><br />
begin chapter 12--skits<br />
<br />
<u>Thursday--A Day (<b>LITERATURE)</b></u><br />
<i>The Outsiders</i> test<br />
<b>Cast project due</b> (was formerly due on Wednesday)<br />
<br />
<u>Friday--B Day (Literature)</u><br />
"The Tell-Tale Heart"<br />
pg. 84 #2,4,6,7<br />
2 sentences each (due Tuesday Nov 5)<br />
<br />
Hopefully this isn't too confusing. Let me know if you have any questions!Ms. Albershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06637335293145027616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812627170274577052.post-67461225289466106312013-10-21T06:39:00.002-07:002013-10-21T06:39:37.868-07:00Cross Country State Champions!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
