J-Team

Catching up

Good morning! Yes, a snow day:) The sad part is missing our yearbook field trip....it would have been fun!!
I found a great model of how to outline/write a news feature story. Check it out!

I will pick up our newspapers today or tomorrow. Don't forget to bring your ideas to class tomorrow. You have lots of time to think now!!

Winding Down

Can you believe it's February? And today feels like spring. Spring means things are winding down for the yearbook and gearing up for the newspaper! Our final YB deadline is March 3, so get as much done as you can before winter break. Newspaper folks, your deadline IS winter break, so stay on it. The contest is coming up.
Good work everyone. You're the BEST!!

Enough Rest For You

Is it possible? Snow? Yes, but we still have deadlines this week. That means you must work at home, in the car (not while you are driving!!), at lunch--wherever you can. Jason is coming tomorrow to help with some yearbook glitches. Newspaper peope--make sure you have what you need. Remember, we are staying after school Tuesday and Wednesday:) Yearbook people, feel free to join us.

Let us know where you stand. Thanks for all your hard work. Make it happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2005

Happy, Happy New Year!! See you soon...

Thinking of You

I hope you are all enjoying the break. I am. While you are away, try to think of great story/article/yearbook ideas!! Drink hot coffee, go sledding if it snows, read a good book, enjoy your families (yes, reallly). I'll see you in January. For those of you who celebrate Christmas, Merry Merry. Take care...see you soon:)

My Mistake!

Ok, we're not in such bad shape. The headshots are SUPPOSED to be that way! If you have time, and you want to help out, come to school on Friday around 9....we will put the last few pages to bed and be done with it!!

If you are busy, have a great holiday break. Rest and relax:)

Miss Me?

I hope your exams are going well. I'm almost finished grading your folders. I"m finding a few disconcerting things in yearbook, like headshots with no quotes and articles with no quotes. Hmmm.

Some newspaper people are short on points. Remember, you need to be sure you take on enough "stuff" to earn what you want. You can see how it adds up so add it up yourself! Not enough? Write more:)

I do hope you rest and relax over the break. We will have lots to do when we get back. Lots to do.

By the way, if you didn't turn in your money for the ads, they don't count. See Sarah or me by Friday:)

Good luck on the rest of your exams....

Deadlines!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadlines, yes, that's plural. Tomorrow. You can do it. Really!!

Back to work

It's a purple kind of night. I hope you all had a good break! Are you ready to get back to work? Hope so, cuz it's coming tomorrow. Or today, if you are just getting around to reading this.

And here's the news of the day:

• we have two weeks of classes until exams
• we have a newspaper and a yearbook deadline next week
• i will not be here Thursday or Friday
• there's no more candy in the room

See you soon:)

Congratulations Yearbook!!!

Way to go, yearbookies!! Thanks to the editors who stayed through lunch to make it all work and meet deadline. Great team work! Thanks to the reporters who did the hard job of reporting and writing  :)
