Week of Nov. 2-6

Update...

Congratulations to all 8th grade students...I have received a book report from each one of you. I will grade them over the next two weeks and hopefully you will have your score sheet back before Thanksgiving.

Grammar Chapter one tests were taken on Tuesday. Five students missed this test and need to make it up in the next few days. We will be starting Chapter 2 this week. Chapter 2's main focus is on nouns.

We have been working on short stories in writing class. 14 students have not turned in a peer edit sheet for their short story. Final copies of short stories are due on Tuesday, November 10th.

In reading 8A, we have just receive the new vocabulary words for Two were Left. The words for this story are a little more difficult to spell and remember the definition, so practice, practice, practice.

In reading 8B and 8C, we have just received the vocabulary words for Mother in Mannville. Please make sure you are practicing their spelling and definitions.

REMINDERS: Over 20 8th graders are missing work. Please have your child check and see if they are missing work. If they are missing work, they need to come into workroom and make it up. A reminder...our school policy states that unresoved incomplete grades result in a student attending summer school or being retained.

On a lighter note...I am in need of tissues in my classroom. Please donate tissues. I only received a few boxes at the beginning of the year and they are all gone.
