 Welcome to Mrs. Milan’s Class! It’s so hard to believe it’s the fourth nine weeks. It seems just like yesterday school started. I am very proud of the hard work that you all do. I am so proud of the achievements you are making. Let’s keep our focus and strive for success. Set a goal for making honor roll and having all 15 AR points. Expect the best from yourself, work hard, and believe you can do anything you set your mind to do. You are the best. Several more links have been added in our Tiger Terrific compliment chain! Each time our class is complimented for outstanding behavior a link is earned. When the chain reaches from ceiling to floor, students will be rewarded. Our goal is to aim for positive behavior at all times. We want to be role models for others. For Mrs. Milan’s homeroom students, we have begun a star student recognition. At the end of progress report and report card time we are going to recognize the students with the top grade in math, science, social studies, english and total number of AR points. Students will get a star with their name on the door and a certificate. Educational Quotes 1. Henry B. Adams: “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” 2. John Dewey: “Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.” 3. Nelson Mandela: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” 4. Herbert Spencer: “The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.” 5. Dan Rather: "The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth." 6. Francis Bacon: "Knowledge and human power are synonymous." 7. B.B. King: "The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you." 8. Richard Feynman: "Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough." 9. Peter F. Drucker: "Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement." 10. Jean Piaget: “The principal goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done.”

Please remember to sign BOTH sides of the discipline sheet. One side is for discipline and the other is for homework.
 
Look for Friday papers from both Mrs. Hendren and myself every Friday. These are to be returned on Monday signed by a parent or guardian. We want you to know on a weekly basis how your student is progressing. This also lets the student know what papers may need to be redone the following week.
 
Students need to complete make-up work as soon as they return to school.
