Next 2 Weeks
As we are approaching Thanksgiving there are only 6 days of class left! During these next 2 weeks students will be introduced to a fairy tale/fable writing assignment. Students have the choice to work alone or with one partner. I will be explaining the assignment on Tuesday, but if you want to know more now - than take a look!
Classes have finished their first novels and it is time to "swap" books! Period 6 will be reading The Christopher Killer by Alane Ferguson and Period 8 will be reading After by Francine Prose. I hope the classes each enjoy their new read!
Don't forget - Accelerated Reader book reports are by 11/20. Read, read, read over these long weekends! I'm excited to say many students are already done! Nice Job!!!!
The next book check-out for book reports will be 11/19 - at this time I will also explain the book report assignment. Book reports will be due 12/18. This way students get a jump start on the reading while on Thanksgiving break and will have the book report complete before starting winter break.
As always, please don't hesitate to call and/or e-mail me with any questions and/or concerns!

Do you read my blog?
I will post 3 questions in the next week...sometime. If you e-mail me with all 3 questions & the correct answers you will receive 1 point of extra credit on Thursday's Word Within the Word quiz.
Parents please don't tell your students to come and read the blog if you are the one that found this out. I'm trying to really teach the students to start being more proactive and read their teacher's blog. I've told students that mystery questions can come up anywhere!
