(36) Week of May 28th

5/28/2018

NOTE: We are now on a very strict schedule. Plan your time and use lunch/other times as needed to finish your projects on time: 1) Sculptures must be finished by the end of the day on Tuesday (Wed. is the ABSOLUTE latest) (because they need time to dry fully before firing!); 2) There is ONE more painting studio day this week (short class); paintings are officially due on June 4/5 (w/self-assessment rubric).

THURSDAY: SENIOR SHOWCASE

FRIDAY: SOL schedule - extended 8th pd

HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, preparation, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow (don't procrastinate!), 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Ask for help/use extended lunch as needed; communicate extension requests at least 3-days before a deadline.

NONE but you should use your time to start gathering and organizing your notes, in preparation for the quiz next week and for the exam the week after
