Vocabulary Lesson 2

Kids will be receiving their second vocab lesson today. This will be due Tuesday, 10/4. The quiz will be Friday, 10/7. Please spend some time studying the words with your student as they prepare.

SL students, you will find a copy of your assignment under "Helpful Links".

Thanks!

Vocab and New Reading Calendar

This week I will hand out vocab lesson 2 on Wednesday. I warned the kids that I would give them less and less time to complete the assignments if there were a large number of kids who didn't hand it in on time. Unfortunately, there was almost 30% of students who did not hand in their vocab 1 assignment last week. Though this may sound mean, it is actually my experience that the less time students have to work on something the more of them who actually complete it.

I have a new reading calendar for "Hunger Games". I am hoping this link will work, but if not I will also be handing out a paper copy on Wednesday. In the mean time, kids need to read Chapters 10 and 11 for Wednesdays' class.

Homecoming Weekend!

Happy Homecoming Everyone!

It's fun to see all the Park Pride at school today.

This weekend we will be giving everyone a chance to catch up on their "Hunger Games" reading. BE SURE YOU ARE DONE WITH CHAPTER 9 FOR MONDAY!! Also, you will need to finish the Reading Check on the back of your green calendar. If you lost your green sheet, you can get another copy of the Reading Check here.

Next week you will get a new reading calendar and another vocab assignment.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Starting "Hunger Games"

Thursday marks the beginning of our reading of "Hunger Games". Kids will get books in class on Thursday in class. They will receive a paper handout of the reading calendar and they have a small activity to do on the back with each chapter. You can find a link to the calendar here!

Vocabulary Lesson 1

Hello,

All classes will have received their first vocab lesson by the end of Tuesday. I try to keep copies of them on the right here... give me a day or two to get it loaded :)

Remember, you need to write all your words in your notebook in our "Vocab Lesson's" Chapter. Only use 1 page per lesson. Write the words and the definition.

Don't hesitate to email me with questions!
