Week of November 7-11

Advanced LA
The beginning of the week will focus on review and creating a note-card to use on the quiz Tuesday.  Wednesday and Thursday will move into the second portion of our verb unit.


Advanced Reading 4
This week, students will finish reading After.  I know many have had to read ahead to find out Tom and his friends fate at Central High School.  Students have really enjoyed this book, and I have been impressed by their connections they have been able to make to social studies and how many first amendment rights are being taken away from the students in the book!  The third week of November will be working on a final assessment and I can't wait to see what the students produce!

Advanced Reading 6
Students are wrapping up The Christopher Killer novel.  We have had a lot of fun with this book.  Students will finally find out who murdered Rachel!  Will they be right?  The following week, I will be introducing some project options that I think the students will enjoy.  They will be able to take facts from our book and put a twist on it through an interesting choice of topics!

LA 7
Classes will begin Unit 3 - verbs this week.  Lessons 1-7 will be focused on.  At first these lessons will seem like review, but remember you can always check-out a book to take home and review more on your own!  Remember to see me if you need help before school or during study hall.

Reading 8
Starting the week with review over chapters 8-14 on Monday.  Quiz on Tuesday - don't forget to study your vocabulary!  The week will conclude with chapters 15 & 16.
