OOPS!

New due date for 7^th grade mystery project:  Wednesday, April 25.  The original date, April 18, is actually during break.  Sorry for any confusion.

 

 

Two upcoming assignments for 8^th graders, both due at the start of class on Tuesday, April 10:

 

1.  Personal Narrative final drafts (first and second drafts were completed in class and some time has been given already for finals)

2.  Nothing But the Truth “layered curriculum” -- briefly put, this is a menu of mini-projects that students choose from in order to earn points towards a particular grade.  Fifty minutes of class time was given today, the same amount will be given tomorrow, and at least thirty minutes will be given on Monday.  Depending on the student and the mini-projects chosen, this may not be sufficient time.

Two (okay, four) items

Parents,

 

7^th graders were given a permission slip in English class for a trip on the 5^th of April.  Please return slips to TA ASAP.

 

7^th graders were assigned a copy of Ten Little Indians that they are responsible for caring for and bringing to class every day. They were asked to read chapter one tonight.  The vocabulary is quite challenging, so I asked students to read it, but not to worry too much if there were some things they didn’t understand.  We will be re-reading chapter one as a class, but it is nice for the kids to have some familiarity with it in advance.

 

7^th graders were asked to have their last vocabulary test signed by a parent.  It should have gone home last week or yesterday at the latest.

 

7^th graders who need to do the mystery project should be nearing the end of their mystery books and at least beginning to think about what they will do for a project (due April 18). Details were posted on my blog a few weeks ago, and handed to students on yellow copy paper at the same time.  Please email me with questions. 

 

Thanks!
