Thank you to Emily Wilcox and Sydney Silver who volunteered to label
the AR books in my library with the book level and AR point value! Your
hard work has made AR easier for EVERYONE! Thanks again!
Parents, if you would like to meet with me, please know I would be happy to schedule a time with you after school (2:45-3:15 any work day except Tuesday) or during my plan time between 8:45-9:45.
Currently, the sixth grade is finishing up The Iliad. We'll learn about five-paragraph essay format in our next unit.
The seventh grade currently is working on a grammar unit about subjects and predicates and knowing how to find them in questions, commands, and inverted order sentence after eliminating any prepositional phrases.
The eight grade is absorbed in the unit on short stories.
Book Orders are due this Friday, Nov. 1, 2013.
AR is progressing well. I was able to add a shelf of new books to my library using my copious bonus points from my Scholastic account! If your student is at a reading level from the 2.to 4. range, it might be good idea to help your child find books outside of my classroom using the AR Bookfinder Advanced Search. Most of the books in my AR library are in the 4.to 6. range.
