FREAK THE MIGHTY
Important Information:
• We are beginning a Student Choice Novel Study this week. Students were given a choice of four different novels varying in genre, writing style, and ability level. The students who selected Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick will be in my 8th period reading class until the end of January. During this unit we will study vocabulary, characterization, theme, writing approach, and real world connections. Students will be expected to take quick comprehension and vocabulary quizzes throughout the unit. Then students will complete a culminating characterization project to show their knowledge of Freak the Mighty.
• All students will need a quart size Ziploc bag by Thursday, January 8 to keep their novel in.
• Students must not read ahead during this novel study; students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of differentiated activities throughout the novel (these opportunities will be announced on the syllabus each week- see Tuesday’s homework for an example).

Team 6-3: 2nd Trimester Late Work Policy
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Remember the first trimester comes to an end on Tuesday, November 25. In order for your child to receive late credit for missing work in their core classes they must turn it in to us by November 25th.
As the 2nd trimester approaches we wanted you to be aware of changes regarding our team’s late work policy for the second trimester. As you know we update grades on the online gradebook every two weeks or so. During the 2nd trimester your child will have one week from the update to turn in any missing or absent work. If the work is not turned in within that week your child will not have another opportunity to make up the work. They will receive a zero for the missing assignment(s).
It is important that you check the online gradebook when we send an email notification stating grades have been updated. Encourage your child to come see us at lunch or homework club if they have any questions about missing or absent work. Please continue to watch the syllabus and check that your child is completing all of their work on time. As always contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Team 6-3 Core Teachers
Linda Koplin Jolynn Alexander Jason Morrell

Questions/Comments:
Remember the first trimester comes to an end on Tuesday, November 25. In order for your child to receive late credit for missing work in their core classes they must turn it in to us by November 25th.
As the 2nd trimester approaches we wanted you to be aware of changes regarding our team’s late work policy for the second trimester. As you know we update grades on the online gradebook every two weeks or so. During the 2nd trimester your child will have one week from the update to turn in any missing or absent work. If the work is not turned in within that week your child will not have another opportunity to make up the work. They will receive a zero for the missing assignment(s).
It is important that you check the online gradebook when we send an email notification stating grades have been updated. Encourage your child to come see us at lunch or homework club if they have any questions about missing or absent work. Please continue to watch the syllabus and check that your child is completing all of their work on time. As always contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Team 6-3 Core Teachers

Welcome New Team 6-3 Students!
Thank you for visiting my blog. Just for fun be sure to take my survey on the left. Please read the following important information carefully.
- My preferred method of communication is email; I check it frequently and will be able to get back to you quickly. My email address is lkoplin@op97.org.
- By the first day of school you should know how to use a combination lock. We want you to be able to get your things from your lockers once you put them in it.
- Bring your supplies to school the first day and every day there after.
- Be sure to bring two boxes of Kleenex and a roll of paper towels on the first day.
- We have many special advisory activities planned for our first week of school involving our Positive Behavior Intervention Systems (PBIS) Program.
- Julian Middle School looks like such a big school but it really isn't. We have our SUPER SECOND FLOOR B-WING which you will spend at least five periods a day in... It is like our very own school within a school! Also, the teachers will be in the hallways to help you find your classes for the first weeks of school. So don't worry.
- Starting the week of September 1st you will receive a syllabus from all your core teachers at the beginning of every week. I post my syllabus on my blog every week; I usually have it posted the Friday before the week starts so you can view it over the weekend and get yourself organized if you wish!
- If you lose your syllabus all you have to do is go to my blog to check your homework and upcoming activities.
- My blog even has a link to Mrs. Alexander’s blog, Mr. Morrell’s blog, and our team calendar!
- We really want you to have a successful academic year at Julian Middle School therefore checking our blogs will really help you to make sure your homework is done every day, turned in on time, and that you’ve completed the correct assignments.
I can’t wait to meet you. We are going to have a FANTASTIC YEAR!!!
