I would like to publicly thank my wonderful students for their excellent behavior this week while I was out sick. When I returned, I received nothing but rave reviews from the substitute teachers about how hard working and wonderful my students were. Well done Cougars, you are all champions!
Onward and upward! We will begin poetry this week. Instead of spelling words, I will be giving students copies of poetry terms and definitions that I will expect them to know the meanings of by Thursday. Each class will highlight the words they are responsible for this week (not the entire list!) and we will test on Thursday.I will probably give fewer than 12 words to each group, as it is a short week and we have another major assessment to complete too.
Bookmobile: Tuesday, Nov. 8. Remember, your child must read an autobiography /biography this term and complete a book review and write and act out a short skit about their person for the class on Jan. 2
Also this week, we finish up our novel study and have a unit test. Please be sure your child studies for this test. It will be on Wednesday, Nov. 9 for both Secret Garden and Wee Free Men. I will post Wee Free Men essay question choices on Tuesday.
No homework this week! Please read anyways!
I will be setting up conferences this week for parents who requested them. Due to the number of conferences I will have to limit them to 15-20 minutes each. If we need more time, we can e-mail. Thanks in advance for understanding.
I am going to begin tutoring students for EOG testing this week in homeroom, from 8:00 to 8:30. I will send a note with students who I would like to participate. If I contact you, please arrange to have your child at school by 8:00 on the days I request them. We have many students who will need additional help this year and I figured this as a great time to get in some additional practice.
