Greetings Kaminer's Kids,
Weekly Quote: "A Genius! For thirty-seven years I practiced for fourteen hours a day, and now they call me a genius! .” ~ Pablo Sarasate, 1844-1908, Spanish violinist Weekly Focus: Vocabulary. Literature, Turn in Writing and Grammar books At the end of this week, students will understand the meaning of friendship and integrity. Weekly Vital Vocabulary: We're done for the year! Weekly Vocabulary Terms (05/21/12) 1. rivet ~Write words in an alphabetical list 2. agitated ~Define each word by: 3. merge writing the word 4. conceal writing the part of speech 5. geyser writing the pronunciation 6. assure writing the FULL definition 7. integrity ~Write an original sentence for each word. 8. ember 9. veer 10. canopy On the first day of each week, you will receive a list of ten (sometimes more), topic-based vocabulary terms. For homework you will have to write a personal sentence for each of your terms. These sentences will show me that you understand your words and will be due on Wednesdays. On Fridays, you will have a vocabulary quiz (both definitions (MY CHOICE) and spelling, most weeks). ANNOUNCEMENTS: ~ Turn in your Writing and Grammar book Wednesday! ~ Vocabulary- Definitions due Thursday. ~ Quiz Thursday. ~ Please be sure to call the school and report any excused absences or tardies. DO NOT email teachers to report any absences, as we must all follow attendance procedures. Thank you for your attention to this matter. ~ You are required to check this website weekly for any announcements, and you MUST use Mozilla Firefox to see it properly. (I have no idea as to why, but that is the case.) ~PARENTS: Please think twice before emailing me about a grade or anything that you can find out by asking your child. I have more than 150 students and although I would love to answer all of the emails, it's physically impossible to do without my computer in front of me. Also, please refrain from emailing me after 10 pm, as my phone lets me know I've got something waiting to be read. Again, if your question can wait until the next day, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. ~ Be sure to check Pinnacle for your grades. ~ Class Supplies: Regular notebook paper (college-ruled is preferred); pencils; at least two pens at all times, as they tend to run out or disappear-They may be blue, black, green, purple, pink, burgundy, brown or orange) No light colors please; one highlighter (any color except black-that would not be a highlighter- LOL); a folder with pockets or a light-weight, paper-thin binder with dividers (Heavy binders weigh your backpack down and are not healthy for you to carry...they will eventually hurt back.); a DEAR book (you'll find out more about this later) and last, but not least...WATER!!!!!! There are no water fountains in "Portable Land". ~ Donations of tissues, hand-sanitizer, Expo white-board markers (they last the longest), and 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper are always appreciated. :) ~ Here's to a great year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Educationally yours, Mrs. D. Kaminer |
