Good Morning to all, this is a big week. it is review for the midterms. i will be assigning ELA classwork to all groups and anything not finished in class will be homework. parents, please look for it. This is imperative to complete. We will also review test taking strategies in class with reading material i provide for students that will be similar to test material.

all students have a block of vocabulary words to review for the midterm.

there will not be any others tests during midterms. all weekly testing vocab and religion will begin again the week of the 24th.

Happy New Year to all and may the new year bring the best life has to offer.

this week is short, however tuesday brings vocab tests for all grades (6-7-8) wednesday is review day for 6-7-8 on stories/poems read and thursday students will be tested on that material. friday all 6-7-8 graders will receive material that will be included on the midterm tests for ELA. Students will receive vocab words (must know meaning and spelling), concepts in reading (main idea, inferences, character traits, drawing conclusions) and grammar theories we have covered (parts of speech, diagramming sentences)

midterms are the week of the 17th, this gives everyone the chance to study, practice and ask questions.

good morning! hope all is well!

just a few reminders:

grade 6 has received the book we are reading as a class -The Jungle Book. Students were to read up to and including page 39 Wednesday night, writing a short summary for each chapter.

grade 7 should have ordered the book Down the Rabbit Hole two weeks ago and some students still do not have the required reading. please don't let your student fall behind.

grade 8 will start a new book on Monday. it's called The Gift of the Magi. I have purchased the books for the school.

as usual, there is a vocab test every Tuesday unless otherwise indicated, please be prepared for success.

there will be a ELA packet going home in 6th, 7th, & 8th for Thanksgiving. it is a grade and must be completed.
