Welcome to 2nd quarter. In language arts this semester, we are reading the Newberry Award winning books.  The team novel that we are reading together is The Pigman. Our library day is scheduled for every other Friday. Students are allowed to check out 2 books at a time. For homework we are focusing on comprehension and studying for the EOG by reading small passages and answering 5-6 multiiple choice questions that go with the stories. Generally, homework is assigned every night. To be more convienient for students with evening obligations, I have started to give a week's worth of assignments on Friday afternoon so that students can work at their own pace. Each Tueday the students will bring home an envelop with all of their graded work with a cover sheet for parents to sign stating that they have seen their child's papers.  Our social studies classes have a less traditional format.  We are working in groups and partnerships to discuss and complete activities pertaining to United States history with a North Carolina slant. We have moved on in history and are working on the Civil War.
