Essay and End of Quarter
Essay:
This week we are finishing up the 5 paragraph essay we started on "All Summer in a Day" way back before winter break. Kids need to have the outline complete in order to get my signature and begin typing. We were in the lab yesterday and will be in there today and tomorrow. Essay's are due at the end of class tomorrow.
End of Quarter:
The biggest reminder that needs to go out is that Reading Logs and Shelfari Reports are due TOMORROW!! Kids have known about this for a long time, and they were also told several times that there would be no extension given this time because they had all quarter to complete the assignment.
The end of quarter vocab exam will be given next Thursday, 1/20/11.
I am working on updating grades. Feel free to write me with questions but please know that several assignments are in the late box and will be entered as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Back in the Swing
Welcome back to school!
This week found us in a chilly classroom looking out the window to an even chillier landscape... ugh. Fortunately, we are working hard on our 5 paragraph essay's on "All Summer in a Day", and that generates lots of heat :)
We will be finishing those up in class next week. Be sure to hang on to your outlines and see me with any questions you may have.
Vocab 8 will be due on Friday. We will also take the quiz that day. You will have class on Thursday to work on this.
Thanks!

Monday 12/13
This week we will be starting our 5 paragraph essay process. We will be taking this step by step to ensure that everyone follows along.
In the mean time... vocab 7 is due for HL only on Tuesday, 12/14.
And...please take a look at your score on the Grammar Exam. Anyone who got a D+ or lower is required to stay after Thursday for a review and retake session. People who missed the test should also plan to be there Thursday. You will take the 4:30 bus home. If you cannot be there at that time, you need to make other arrangements with me.
Thanks!

Grammar
This week we finished our grammar unit. To review for the test kids had to complete a "study guide" poster.
Here is what needed to be on the poster:
* Noun
* Pronoun
* Adjective
* Verb
* Adverb
* Preposition
* Conjunction
* Interjection
* Sentence Types: Exclamatory, Interrogative, Imperative, Declarative
* Subject
* Predicate
These words need to be defined and examples need to be given.
We took the final exam today. Kids who did not pass will need to stay after with me on Thursday for a review session and to retake the test. I will have grades in by Monday.
In other news, the JH play is this weekend and I hope you get a chance to see the show! Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and Sunday at 2:30 at the SH auditorium. Tickets available at the door :)

Wednesday we will check in again to see where we are and then we will determine if we are ready to test either the second half of class on Wednesday or on Thursday.

Anniversary of Rosa Parks Bus Protest
Today we are spending time in class discussing this important historical event and using it to practice writing a different sentence types: declarative, exclamatory, interrogative, imperative. These will all be on the upcoming grammar test. The grammar test will also look at the kids understanding of:
Subject/ Predicate
Nouns
Verbs
Adjective
Adverbs
Pronouns
Prepositions
I plan to give this test next Wednesday, but that will change if I feel the kids are not ready. I will be looking to some pre-tests to check in on their readiness.
Vocab Lesson 6 was due yesterday, but I am accepting for full credit until tomorrow. The SL lesson is now on the right. Lesson 6 quiz will be given on Friday for both HL and SL.
