June, 2009

NOTE:  MY HOMEWORK IS TO COMPLETE  CLASSWORK.  THE STUDENTS  NEED TO COMPLETE ANY  CAUGHT YA GRAMMAR SERIES WORK   WHICH INCLUDES A SENTENCE AND A PICTURE FOR EACH VOCABULARY WORD.  WHEN TOPIC WRITING IS ASSIGNED, STUDENTS  MUST COMPLETE WRITING ONE PAGE ON  THAT TOPIC.   ALL WORK IS IN THE COMPOSITION  LANGUAGE ARTS NOTEBOOK.   ALSO,  THEY MUST STUDY THE VOCABULARY WORD AND PUNCTUATION   FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TEST ON SENTENCES GIVEN IN CLASS.

COMPOSITION BOOKS WILL BE COLLECTED FOR  TWO GRADES.  STUDENTS MUST WRITE  ONE PAGE ON AN ASSIGNED TOPIC  WHICH IS DISCUSSED IN CLASS.   THE GRAMMAR SERIES EXERCISES MUST BE CORRECTLY WRITTEN.  I PREFER THAT STUDENTS WHO ARE ABSENT SEE ME PERSONALLY SO I CAN EXPLAIN GRAMMAR RULES, EXAMPLES, ETC.  THIS PAGE IS A COURTESY   AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME DEPENDING ON LENGTH OF DISCUSSION, OTHER "TEACHABLE" MOMENTS

The week of June 3rd we will be completing the reading of our novel, BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA.  We will continue  correcting sentences with the Caught Ya series.   June 8th to the tenth is exam week.   Students will be writing a five-paragraph essay  (choice of topics)
