Who couldn't use a few extra credit points here and there, right? Would you like to know how you can receive a few of these points in my class? Well, there are two ways to do it...
First, declare your vision. If you intend to go to college years from now, confirm that intention by bringing in a college pennant that I can put up on the wall. That way, you will see that pennant every day when you come into my classroom and be reminded of the promise you made to yourself. Doing so will add some significant points to your grade later in the semester. Can't find a college pennant? Then while you're here online, find a college's web page (I can't think of any college nowadays which does NOT have a website), and capture their logo or crest. Print that out on a sheet of paper with your vision statement, "I am GOING to college!", and sign it. Then bring your statement to me. Instant points! I'll post your vision to the wall in my classroom, and hopefully, it will help you stay focused and determined to reach that goal.
Secondly, look like where you are going. My hopes and dreams for you are BIG. As such, I would like for you to dress for success at least once a week. Here on Team 801, we dress up on Wednesdays. For the boys, that means long sleeved dress shirts, neckties, dress slacks, and dress shoes. For the girls, it means blouses, skirts (within dress code), dress slacks, and dress shoes (low pumps are preferred; if you wear heels, the heel must be within the dress code. See your student handbook for details). Ladies, for more points, wear a nice tea-length dress or business suit.
Doing these two things will add a point or two to your overall grade, and will confirm that you are on your way to high school and future success! I look forward to seeing how well you all are dressed up on Wednesdays! Look for the pics on this blog as we go through the year!
