All reading classes have a quiz tomorrow, September 22nd, on reading strategies and part of fiction. Please remind your son/daughter to study the notes. All reading classes were also given a slip of paper to be filled out with the title of the Fiction book he/she will be reading for his/her first book report. The book chosen most be on his/her level. The paper and book are due on Friday, September 25th.
All writing classes will be having a quiz on Friday, September 25th, on lessons 1-4 in chapter 1. This can be found in their grammar book, a.k.a. Language Network book. There are links to activities on the right of my web page where students can practice and study for this quiz. Good luck.

Week of Sept.14-18
Yes, we are definitely back into the swing of things. All classes had writing homework last night and will probably have more Tuesday or Wednesday night. Please check your son/daughter's agenda to verify that homework has been complete.
Parents, you also had homework to complete...a parent's survey. So far I am missing over 30 students surveys. Please get this in a soon as possible. Thanks.

Welcome Back
I just wanted to send a thank you to all the parents who sent in paper towels, hand sanitizer, cleaning products, and tissues. I am also accepting donations of prizes or rewards to be used for a homework Bingo competition that will be starting next week and gently used or new board games for rainy day recess. These items are greatly appreciated and I am still accepting donations.
I also want to thank the parents that returned their emergency cards, hand book pages, and grading policy forms. I will also be sending home a parent survey today that I would like to be fill out and returned. This is vital information to help our school year be a success.
Today, Thursday, students completed a benchmark reading test. This test is not an academic grade, but a tool used by the teacher to get a preview of the students' abilities. I will score them in the next few weeks and send a letter home with that information when it is complete.
Student supplies....By now almost all 8th graders have a journal for writing, which is to be kept in class. Many students still need a binder with three sections or a 3-subject notebook. The three sections are to be labeled Reading, Writing, and Grammar. It is very helpful for all students to have the same three sections. Students also need paper, pencils, and pens on a daily basis.
Thank you for all of your help and I am looking forward to a great school year.
