Reading Homework Reminder for 6th, 7th, 8th!
Each day I expect the students to read for at least twenty minutes. Doing this counts toward their language arts grade. They receive 5 points for each day they read, an extra 5 for reading on Saturday, and an extra 5 for reading on Sunday. However, I will not give them credit for reading unless three items are in the planner for that day: what they read, how long they read, and their parent's signature. I take the grade each Monday for the previous week. Please check your list of assignments for language arts to see how you are doing on this! Some students got excellent grades today, and some did not. I know those students can do better!

6th Language Arts: We read chapters 16-20 in Holes today.

7th Language Arts: Today we learned about fiction and nonfiction and also met the author Richard Peck.

8th Language Arts: Today we learned about fiction and nonfiction and also met the author Patricia McKissack.

6th Social Studies: The final note cards were due this morning. We are not spending any more time working on note cards in class. If a student is behind, they have a few options including coming to Before School Club at 7:30, staying in from recess, and working on them at home.

6th Spelling: We started Lesson 4 today. These words are all about long o short o.
