Students will begin to read Life at the Top. They have their vocabulary words on a handout, in their textbook, and next week they will have it in their interactive notebook. Students in periods 1 & 2 have them in their Vocabulary Power Journal. Test will include vocabulary used in sentences. We started to discuss text structure in class and how you can use it/identify them in many publications. We have also discussed pronouns, which are words used to replace a noun. The reading test will be next week, so please encourage studying vocabulary and text features. We will have 2 writing responses also. Students need to provide evidence from the text in one of the 2 prompts. Both prompts must have an intro and conclusion.
Parents, please discuss with your child the importance of paying attention in class. There are many discussions we have in class that aren't found in the textbook, notebook or on a handout. With all of the interruptions with going to the bathroom, lessons, drinks, etc., students are missing the important information. If students listened in class and reviewed at home with a responsible adult every night, they wouldn't have to study so much, or panic when it is test time. Students have homeroom until 9am, special-lunch-recess for 100 minutes, and homeroom at dismissal until their bus is called. This is when students should be using the restrooms unless it is a true emergency or medically necessary. We had a brief discussion today, but will continue on Monday.
We will be going outside for recess if the temperature is 35 degrees and above. Students will go outside, so please be sure they are dressed appropriately. A hood sometimes is not enough.
Have a nice weekend,
Mrs. Herring
