Volleyball
Hi girls! I wanted to inform you about a volleyball camp that BCC is having in July. This would be a great opportunity for you to learn the basic volleyball skills and rules. I highly recommend that you attend. For those of you that already know how to play, this would be an opportunity for you to "brush up" on your skills.
BCC Volleyball Camp
July 19-20, 9am-12pm
Ages 9-17
Price $75.00
Come join BCC Women's Volleyball Conference Champs as they host Volleyball Camp. This camp is for the beginner to intermediate player, focusing on basic volleyball skills and rules. Girls will learn proper fundamentals, which are the key to becoming a successful volleyball player. Each player will leave camp with the knowledge of team work. Knee pads are not required but encouraged.
(They offer other great camps this summer! Check out their summer camp flyer on the BCC website!)
I will also hold an open gym this summer on Wednesday mornings from 8am-11am. Please check my website in case I can not make it every Wednesday. Starting Next Wednesday :)
Please share this with your friends!

April 12th-16th
Students will finish chapters 9-12 and complete chapter sheets. They will have a quiz on Monday. Tuesday they will start chapters 13-15 and complete a vocabulary worksheet. They need to make sure that they are keeping up with their chapter sheets. By the end of the week students should finish the novel and be prepared for the final test on Number the Stars. They will have two projects that will be due the following week.
After the novel, we will begin our unit on Poetry and finish the year with EOG review. Please look for a packet that they can work on at home to prepare them for the EOGs.
Students need to continue writing homework down in their agenda. I will be leaving for maternity leave during Spring Break and homework will no longer be posted on the Internet. It will only be posted in the classroom.
Enjoy Your Spring Break!!!

Poetry Review
Students will probably see Poetry on the benchmark and it will definitely be on the EOGs. Here are a few terms that we have been discussing: (Buckle Down Books)
Line: row of words
Stanza: lines grouped together like paragraphs
Sound Effects
Rhyme- repetition of sounds
Rhythm- the "beat" of a poem
Alliteration- the repetition of the first consonant sounds. "Polly Parker picks a peck of peculiar petunias."
Dialect- a variety of language spoken by a certain group of people. The poet uses dialect to create sound.
Figurative Language
Simile: a comparison using like or as. "The fish's scales sparkled in the sunlight like rare jewels." The scales are being compared to jewels using the word like.
Metaphor: a comparison not using like or as. "Jacob's new puppy is an eating machine."
Personification: gives animals or objects human qualities. "The chocolate cake on the counter called out to Jared, begging him to take a bite."
Hyperbole: extreme exaggeration usually to make a point or to get a laugh. "That girl could run from New York all the way to Wyoming without stopping."
Types of Poetry
Light Verse -funny or playful poem
Narrative Poetry- poetry that tells a story
Haiku -3 line Japanese Poem (5-7-5)
Lyric Poetry- musical quality
Sonnet-14 lines usually rhymes
Blank Verse-poetry that doesn't rhyme but has a pattern or beat
Free Verse-no particular rhyme or pattern
Pattern Poetry-poetry that follows a pattern
Limerick-5 line poem with a rhyme scheme of aabba with a punch line
Concrete Poems-shape poem
Other Terms:
analogy: a comparison of two things
image: a vivid picture the poem paints in the reader's mind
sensory words: words that appeal to the senses....touch, taste, smell, sound, or sight
symbol: something that stands for something else....a dove is often used as a symbol of peace.
