Writing...Student should just be about finished with the rough draft of their short stories. We will begin peer editing on Wednesday and if they have not completed the draft, they cannot participate in peer edit and will be asked to stay in for workroom.
In grammar we will be finishing Chapter 1 this week...which means only one thing. Test time. The test for Chapter 1 has not been scheduled, but will probably be the week of October 13. We will definitely find time to review prior to the test. The students will also enjoy playing a game of Grammar Jeopardy just before the test.
All Reading Classes will be getting information on the first book report of the school year this week. Students will be asked to find a fiction book, on their level, and bring it to class by Oct. 13th. Directions for the actual project will be distributed later. The project will count as a reading comprehension grade and a vocabulary grade.
8A Reading had a quiz on Friday 10/3 and will be getting test slips early this week. Parents keep an eye out for these as they are a responsibility grade.
8B and 8C Reading...your next assessment will be on Wednesday 10/8/08 for Stop the Sun.
Reminders...please keep a copy of the school handbook nearby as I have written a few referrals this week. Parents referrals must be signed the night they are sent home and returned the following. This is for any level offense. Students who fail to return them will receive an additional referral. :(
