First Week

We had a great first week!! A few reminders :) Please have students bring a spiral notebook to my class.  So far students should have 3 journal responses.  I have checked Journals 1 & 2 as a homework grade.  Also, they should be reading a novel at home every night.  If you have a reluctant reader, I can help your child find something that may interest them.  Next week I will send home a letter to parents about my class and expectations.  I know parents are receiving a lot of paperwork and wanted to wait.  Unfortunately, I was having problems with this web page and was unable to post homework.  Hopefully, that will not be a problem anymore.  Enjoy your much needed weekend! See you on Tuesday!
Ms. King

Homework

We are working on theme this week.  Students have read two poems that discuss bullying.  So far, they were required to write two journal responses about these topics.
