Parents,
We had a wonderful trip!! Everyone was well behaved, and no illness and good weather were a bonus! All of you should be very proud of this group.
Thanks for sharing your children with us for a week.
Now.....back to the real world:-)
For those students who have been absent.......Due....exercises for voc. #8 - pages 94-97
Due Friday, February 11 - outline, rough draft and final copy of characterization paragraph....
Students were given two handouts today as a guide for this paragraph. This paragraph will count as a minor grade. I will grade these and give them back as a guide for the paragraph that will be written for a major grade next week.
Wednesday, February 16 - test on voc. #8 ..... Please look at the following website furnished by Sadlier-Oxford for additional help with the vocabulary words: www.vocabularyworkshop.com........
I have encouraged the use of this site, and those who have begun to do this like the extra help.
Friday, Monday, Tuesday, February 11-15 and Friday, February 18, we will be working in class on a rough draft for an essay about the Washington trip. If at all possible, students do not need to miss class on these days.
