Friday. Middle school leadership. They were creating "mission statements".
(The success classes a couple weeks ago were doing a similar assignment.)
I was to remind the eighth graders that this was their final and it was due that day. Their grades were due by 4:30 PM. I mean, some of them could probably afford a zero, but their grade would take at least a letter grade hit, I assume.
(The seventh graders still had a week, but I don't think their teacher really wanted to grade the assignment twice.)
And the kiddos? Pretty much worked on the assignment. This was a leadership class, after all. Student government. There are GPA requirements, besides the fact that a kiddo has to be pretty motivated to choose to run for an office and serve the year doing all the various activities that go along with that.
Today is the actual last day of school. Whew. Made it another year.
Congrats on making another year! I hope today is easy.
ReplyDelete7th graders with nothing to do? This might go badly, but so far, about half the kiddos didn't show up.
DeleteCongrats on another year! I am still impressed that you do this.
