This is the happenin' place to come and visit for updates, reminders, and assignments. Don't forget that you can email me anytime - nwhite@hpregional.org - and that you now have a Google account through High Point, which means you have a full access of Google apps. Go to the High Point website and click on the link to log into the student Google accounts, and make use of this valuable tool.

Now, you must remember what Coach Rex Ryan has promised, over and over, that next year is the year for the JETS!! J - E - T - S JETS JETS JETS!!!!

Speak...OUT!




Continue to read Speak - be through MP 3 by Tuesday, Nov. 30; finish the book by Monday, Dec. 6. Use Post-its for powerful descriptive language and observations that hint that Melinda needs psychological help. You might also want to use Post-its for unfamiliar vocabulary.
See here for info on the author, Laurie Halse Anderson - and guess what? You can follow her on Twitter or you can visit her online!!
