Work, Work, Work!

Good Morning!  It's Wednesday March 11th!!  We are midway through March, 7 school days from the end of the 3rd quarter and 2.5 months from graduation!!  Today for your blog I would like you to create a To Do List that includes the following:

• A To Do List that covers all of the things that are required of you at M-A.  Homework/Classwork you need to complete, Tests/Quizzes you need to study for, Teachers you need to speak with, Counselors you need to see, etc.
• A To Do List that covers all things non-related to M-A.  This can include your college outlook plans and what you need to take care of to make sure you have a plan in place upon graduation.  The need for you to complete a certain project, help your parents with something, apply for a job, speak to your boss, etc, etc.

As part of your blog and your to do list, please prioritize each of these items and make a top 3 list after you have completed your "to do" list in its entirety.  What is your timeline for getting these things done.  How is your stress level?  Are you calm and relaxed?  Are you worried about things that are on the horizon?  Is there stuff going on right now that you badly need to deal with so you can stay focused in school?  Please write a thorough, thoughtful response as to how you are doing and what is on your plate currently!

Once you are done with the blog, your assignment for today, based on the assigned reading of Chapter 5, Sections 1 & 2, can be found at http://goo.gl/35yK8S.  Take your time and work to get the right answers!

Deadline today ... after completing the above I need you to complete your application for college.  Remember, every community college application can be found at: http://home.cccapply.org/  As soon as you have completed the application and received the email with your student identification # you must complete this form with your brand new college enrollment identification number http://goo.gl/a5RgQG.  Be sure to respond accurately to the questions so that when I communicate this information to the college, yours is reported accurately.

Once you have completed this you are to work individually on any work you need to complete (including your worksheet for Life and Debt which we finished Tuesday).  Today is a silent work day.  For clarification - that means you are working individually on today's quiz, individually on your college application, individually on any other work that needs to be submitted.  If you have a question or concern please see me, Mr. Rubin, for help.
