I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday. After spending some time putting up Christmas decorations I thought I would catch you up on December's schedule.
For all grammar classes we will be having a chapter 2 test Tuesday, December 9th. This chapter should be a bit easier than chapter 1 as it is only on nouns. Please take some time to review on McDougal Littell's website, the link is to the right of my page. Make sure you know what concert, abstract, common, proper, plural, singular, and possessive nouns are. Make sure you can also tell the difference between a direct object, indirect object and a predicate noun. Also spend some time on appositive and prepositional phrases. I think that is about it, but since I don't have my book with me right now I can't be sure. Please make sure you send time reviewing.
For all reading classes students will need to have a nonfiction book by Friday, December 5th to beginning reading for our next book project. Please take the time to pick out a book that you will enjoy, don't just grab something off my shelf the morning of Friday, December 5th. Remember for all those who are interested in sports, there are a ton of biographies and autobiographies out there for your favorite athletes. For those who don't enjoy reading a long book...you might select something like Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. This is a collection of short stories that are true.
Just a reminder that report cards are to be distributed on Friday, December 5.
