Friday and End of Nine Weeks

Today I printed progress reports that have the same information from the December progress report.  I just wanted to show some students that they still have not turned in make-up work.  I have a bin that is filling up from this past week with work students are turning in.  I have not graded that yet and they will have recent grades added to their grade. 

If your child is missing work, please have them turn it in by Wednesday the 23rd.  I can not accept work after that day.

Homework

Study for Vocabulary Test!!

Wednesday, December 5, 2012

Sorry!!

I forgot to update my page for homework!!! If this happens again, please remember that students receive Weekly Essentials every Monday and they always have vocabulary cards to make for homework.  They will have a test on Friday for the vocabulary words. 

We are also reading Freak the Mighty in class and students are responsible for doing Chapter Sheets for every chapter.  They will be able to use these as a study guide when they have a comprehension test on the first 8 chapters soon. I have checked notebooks and several students are behind on these.  In order for their grade to change, they must make these up.

Thanks!!!


Chapter Sheets are simple a sheet that asks for the chapter title and number, the characters of that chapter, the setting of that chapter and a summary of that chapter.
