Mrs. Law's Lexington Junior High Blog

Careers Junior High is a great time to start exploring interests and learning about different careers. We will do a lot of activities with the students over these two years to explore different options available to them. Here are a couple of resources to get you started thinking about these things! www.bestcolleges.com This website has a lot of great resources on careers and different educational paths. www.ohiomeansjobs.com This is the website the students will become familiar with.

It has been awhile since my last post! Like many of you, I have been scrambling to get this year off to a great start! I hope everyone is settling in to a nice homework and study routine. Here are some important dates coming up this month: THIS Friday, September 30th is the last day of the first grading period!  If you are like me, this totally snuck up on you. A six week grading period goes SO FAST! This is one of the significant differences between elementary and junior high. It is important to build a good foundation for your grade in the first couple of weeks. If not, you spend the entire 6 weeks trying to bring your grades up. Students: make sure you are turning in ALL of your work - even if it is not completely finished. Half-credit is SO much better than a zero! And don't forget to do your math corrections! These can raise your math grade by an entire letter grade, or more. Parents: Grade cards will be sent home with students about a week after the end of the grad
