The Smell Of Our Room Has Never Been Better...

Thank you so much for kicking off Teacher/Staff Appreciate week with a bang. The beautiful flowers sure made me smile and were a joy to look at all day long!

LA: Today was a novel study filled morning. Together, we read through chapters 5-7. Students did a fantastic job working with partners in finding examples of literary elements. We went over them whole group just to make sure we were all on the same page. We also took time to write a letter to either Ben or Matt's family, using Matt's perspective.

HW: Read chapters 8-10 and look for literary terms (Hint: Chapter 8-1 simile, 1 metaphor--Chapter 9-2 tones, 1 imagery--Chapter 10-2 imagery, 1 tone) The next Comprehension check will be given Wednesday in class. This will cover chapters 5-10.

Math: Today we spent our day reviewing for tomorrow's unit 11 test. It seems like adding and subtracting negative numbers might still be giving some of us issues...please review them tonight.

HW: Prepare for tomorrow's test...using your practice test is a great resource!

Health: Today, partners read about illegal drugs. This was a great review from our DARE program earlier this year.

HW: Chapter 6, lesson 3 check up, 1-4 is due tomorrow, written in cursive and complete sentences.

Don't forget:
Wednesday is our last PBA day! Sleep in!
