Before Break

Hello,

SL kids completed and handed in vocab on Tuesday in class.
HL kids need to hand in their vocab on Friday.

All kids should have the words and definitions in their notebooks to study with. They will take the quiz on Tuesday 11/22.

Hunger Games books are due now!! I will be sending home bills for $15 for any student who does not return their book. Please ask your student if they have handed theirs in.

We are working on short stories and the elements of fiction in class; ask your student to tell you about "The Gift of the Magi" or "Tell Tale Heart", the stories we have read so far!


Thanks!!

Out of Class Reading, Shelfari Information!!

Hello-

I have finally put together the expectations for out of class reading. Participation in the reading program, as it is set up, will be dependent on having a Shelfari account. Students will need an email address to set this up. They do not need to have their own, simply one that they can use to register; they may use yours if you are o.k. with that. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how that works.
