T-Shirt Update
Ok, guys, here's the deal with the t-shirt stuff. Below, you can see pictures of the front and the back of the t-shirt. It looks a little funky right now because of the background on the picture, but DON'T WORRY. THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AT THE T-SHIRT COMPANY WILL REMOVE THE BACKGROUND ON THE PICTURE SO IT WILL NO LONGER BE THERE.
Here are the details:
Cost - If we can get 30 PEOPLE to order t-shirts, then they will cost $15 each. The more people that order, the cheaper the cost. But remember, this is NOT REQUIRED. This is completely voluntary, and no one HAS to buy a shirt.
Ordering - I will have the order form on Monday. You can write down your name and size (Youth S to XL and Adult S to 2XL available). If you want a shirt, you MUST bring in your money by FRIDAY, April 22nd. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE. At that point, we'll order the t-shirts, and we'll get super excited when they come in!
Just post or email me if you have any questions!
A MILLION THANK YOUS TO MORGAN KELLY AND HALEY DAY FOR PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER!

EXTRA CREDIT 4/1
Here is your chance to earn some extra credit for the FOURTH NINE WEEKS while you're on Spring Break! Each school day during this week, a journal prompt will pop up on the blog. If you respond to the prompt with at least FOUR sentences, you will earn TWO extra credit points. That means you can earn 10 extra credit points over this week!
Here's your first one: What are you MOST looking forward to about summer? Why?
You have two options for how you can submit your answers.
1. You can simply add a comment to the post that you want to respond to, but remember that those comments will be public, so don't put down anything that you would feel uncomfortable with other people reading!
2. The other option is to write each answer down on a sheet of paper and hand them in to me when we get back to school.
In either case, all responses are due on MONDAY, April 4th, by the end of your block.
Let me know if you have any questions! Have a fantastic, safe, and happy break!
