--Reminder: Here is the compact for our time in the library today:

COMPACT FOR WORK TIME

• Computers will be assigned via a drawing of cards.
• Talking should be limited.
• When talking must occur, get your peer's attention first and stay on task.
• I will use the consequence system that we have in place for lack of compliance.
• Listening to music at a low volume via headphones/earbuds is permitted.

S. the C.
--Reminder: It is important for you to stay caught up with regard to all of your coursework.  It is in your best interest to check the blog and Schooltool often.  Additionally, if you have an "INC" for a Marking Period, following up with me ASAP would be wise!
--Reminder: The third question that must be addressed as part of your writing piece:

• What is your "why?", and how is it related to your observations about/understanding of human nature?
