Welcome to Mrs. Sexton's web site! Click one of the links above to
access other pages in this site. Students, please check the homework page if you are absent, and
you should see me if you
have any questions. Parents, the homework pages are a great way to see
what your child has been doing in class. The Notes and Handouts pages have
some information presented and/or handed out in class. I've added an ACT
Notes page where I will post helpful information.
PLEASE NOTE: I have individual work pages for each
of the courses I teach. On the work pages, I have placed the most
current day's work first with any homework that was assigned. My hope is this will
make it easier to see what was done in class each day, and still allow parents
and students to scroll down to see what was done on previous days.
Vacation
Reminder: Don't get rusty over the long, well-deserved summer break.
Read and write daily--whether it is a journal, a letter, or a poem--texting
does not count! Have a wonderful and safe summer. Remember, if I
can be of any assistance next year, please stop by my classroom. Take
care.

Tip: "There
shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart." Celia Thaxter
May
Tip: "The ability to concentrate
and to use your time well is everything if you want to succeed in business--or
almost anywhere else for that matter." Lee Iacocca
April
Tip: "Courage is
not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom
that opens in the snow." Alice M. Swaim
March
Tip: “The secret of
getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking
your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting
on the first one.”
Mark Twain
February
Tip: "You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve
your love and affection." Buddha
January
Tip: "Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and
let each new year find you a better man." Benjamin Franklin
December

give." Winston Churchill

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest
appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." John
Fitzgerald Kennedy
October Tip: Look for a better way...carve your pumpkin
from the bottom! It's easier to get the seeds and "stuff" out; you
can still carry it by the stem; it's easier to "light"--just put it over the
candle. (from Dan Gilbert, Chairman and founder of Quicken Loans, new team
orientation and Isms)
September Tip: Rid yourself of last year's oversights and
start fresh and new! Don't put off until tomorrow, what you could (and
should and need) to do today.
