If Glogster makes you want to stab a fork in your eye...
... you can use Microsoft word to make a visual representation of your future. You can also use www.picmonkey.com to make a visual representation of your future. In order to use picmonkey though you'll need to download a blank paint image first to upload as a blank jpeg. If this doesn't make sense to you, ask a computer geek and they will help you out!

Make Your Own Glog
When you have completed your ILP and have reached 100% completion status, you are going to make a glog representing your academic and career future. The glog should include any images, videos, or phrases representing your top school and top career. Have fun with this!
Remember, when I made my cool glog?
Mrs. McClellan's Legendary Glog
You are going to make one too representing your future. Go to www.glogster.com to create an account and get started. Be sure to use your school email address to create an account, so you can access your mail from here! When you are done, print the glog and turn in to Mrs. McClellan :)

We’ve been in the library working on our Digital Driver’s License. We will be in there tomorrow (Friday) and Tuesday as well. Remember, if you don’t obtain your license by the end of class on Tuesday, September 4th, the assignment becomes HOMEWORK. This is a big grade in your Internet Safety Unit, so be sure to stay on task in the library.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all in one BLOG POST
Sorry- I missed two days of posting! Here's what you missed this week.
Wednesday:
-Vocabulary Warm-Up: Word Map disecting the word COPIOUS (Check out the Warm-Up Tab for the assignment with the word cartoon)
- Writing in a Planner: Mrs. McClellan modeled how to write in a planner. If you missed that, be sure to ask her for a quick one-on-one lesson about it!
- Visual Lesson- Mrs. McClellan presented an object lesson about Time- Management. If you missed it, bummer, because it was DEEP. Check out a story version of what she did under the ORGANIZATION AND TIME MANAGMENT TAB.
Thursday:
- Grammar Warm-Up (Sentences vs Fragments) Check out the PowerPoint with a quick excercise under the tab Warm-Up Skills.
- Time-log Reflection: Remember those time-logs you've been working on? Today students wrote a reflection on those time-logs. The reflection will also be under the ORGANIZATION AND TIME MANAGEMENT TAB.
Friday:
- "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but today's your first test, so study maybe?"
Today is the first test on Organization and Time Management. Assessments won't be posted on the blog since they have to made up with me. Be sure to come and see me if you missed the test today!

Homework Goal
Don't forget to apply a homework goal this week. Here they are! Pick one to apply for this week :)
1. Sit at a desk or table to complete your homework. (Comfy couches and beds are OFF LIMITS!)
2. Focus on your assignments without the distraction of the television or computer.
3. Make it a goal to get your homework done during daylight hours (no 11pm start times).
4. Open up your planner (that you have written in) and prioritize your tasks. Think about how long each task will take and “chunk” your time. Check off the tasks when you complete them.
5. Reward yourself AFTER you have completed a homework/study task…exercise self-control and discipline!
6. School nights are not “hang out” nights. Focus on your responsibilities. Weeknights are for school work. Remember, jobs and extra-curricular activities are secondary. School is your first priority.

T.G.I.F.
It's been a great week in Proficient Literacy, but I am sure everyone is anxious for the weekend. (I know I need a nap!) We took a quiz over the class rules and procedures today. I hope everyone did well! I look forward to reading and grading them this weekend. If you were absent today (Friday August, 17th), please let me know on Monday, so you can make-up the quiz. Also, make sure you have your supplies by TUESDAY! Have a great weekend. See you on Monday!
