News from Mrs. Prekop - Forsensics

The seventh grade has begun preparing for the upcoming forensics festival at Wisco on Nov. 8. You can help your child find appropriate material at your public library, or on the web. The newspaper columnist, Dave Barry, has some good material. He has a number of published books that have suitable humorous pieces. All choices should be checked for appropriate content. We also have a good deal of material here at school for your child to choose from. Your child received a booklet on Tuesday with all of the categories and their descriptions. The following is a break down of your child's forensic schedule:

Friday, August 29- Category chose
Weds., Sept.3- Piece chosen for presentation (must be timed to ensure that it is long enough, or not too short)
Sept. 10,11,&12- Piece ready for presentation in class (must be memorized if category requires)
Sept. 12- Students chosen to go on to next level of competition
Sept. 15- Oct. 8 Students present to forensics coaches

Thank you for your assistance in this matter!Peggy Prekop

Welcome!!

The school year is here!! Welcome to 2008-09!!!! We are looking to have a great year and we hope that this blog will help to communicate class activities.



The only item I would like to remind all is to have your covers on your books. We can't use the nylon covers because they hurt the book's binding and no contact paper because once they are on they don't really come off. Paper only please!!! We will remind you throughout the school year to put covers back on if they fall off. We might even have to use your only recess to get those on if need be.



Never be afraid to comment or feed questions to me. If they are of more of a personal nature, use bbloomquist@stjacobi.org.
