Supplies
The Subjects of the Realm have brought in all required supplies... hooray!
I gladly accept ongoing donations of:
1. Kleenex
2. Clorox Wipes
3. Hand Sanitizer
4. Packs of lined paper (college ruled preferred)
5. Packs of pencils
Cell Phones
Cell phones are not allowed in the Realm during instructional time... not even in your pocket. Either leave them in your locker, or in my Device Depot in class. You will be reunited with your phone when you leave the Realm. Information about this is also in the syllabus.
Miscellaneous Stuff
Parents! Please fill out the "Comments, Questions" section below... your kiddo will then receive a homework pass! :)
Want a study tool for vocabulary stems? Log on to Quizlet.com and look for my page (MsDsRealm). I have created a study tool for the stems! 8th grade... your WORDS are there too! Studying is KEY to success on the weekly tests. Help your kiddo create a study routine that works for them! Remember, vocabulary stems/words/homework are given every Wednesday and due the following Wednesday. The tests are the Wednesday everything is due.
Scholastic Book Orders - Order online (use code hZL2R)! book orders are an excellent way to build your personal library and help our classroom library! The current book order is due by February 28.
Tuesday Trivia - I would love for this to return, but am in need of donations for prizes... small trinkets kids would love to win. Prizes cannot be edible (as per office rules). Since I am shifting how kids can win prizes, I don't need many, but do need some. The bin at Target is a great place to find prizes! Thank you in advance for your help supporting incentives for the Realm. :)
