A reminder that there is no school Thursday or Friday this week. I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday.

Art - The following are the instructions for our current Art assignment. (Due Monday)
Task
- You will create a personal “logo” for yourself.
- The logo can be whatever you want it to be, but it should communicate something that you stand for. (i.e., a mountain or large slope could represent that you take every journey that allows you to go the extra mile, because that’s a destination that is never crowded).
- You could also have a slogan to go along with your logo (i.e., “Go the extra mile. It’s never crowded.”)
- Apply at least 2 of the following elements of design in your logo, and make sure you write on the back of your assignment how you used the elements of design that you chose.…
History - Your final History task is on Google Classroom. Please make sure you follow the outline from the assignment sheet. The assignment sheet is ordered with steps to help you complete the task successfully. I STRONGLY recommend you plan with your group how you plan to get this task done on time. You have 2 weeks, but you will only have another couple of class periods to work on it. (Due February 18th)
Learning Skills - Each day, please complete your Daily Reflection page. You have received a new one for the month of February. You are reflecting on the following prompt... "Today, I did what I ought to do when I ought to do it, so that one day I can do what I want to do when I want to do it." (Every day)
Passion Projects - I would like to encourage everyone to go to the Aurora Public Library and find books on their Passion Project topic. Please try to have them available for you to read at school after the Winter Break. (Due)
Math - Please complete 2 more rounds of your fitness tracking exercises. It doesn't matter which days you do, but you should have 2 more rounds recorded by Friday. We need to have these for activities in class. In general, you need to be doing 2 rounds of fitness tests at home every week. Thank you :) (Due Friday)

4. School improves your passions
5. The way school improves your passions
6. Are you committed to your success? Prove it, and you'll be glad you did!
7. Why growth is fun!
