Happy New Year Let's get ready to finish up this school year successfully!
Monday - Teacher work day
Tuesday - Students return.
Our first task will be to look back at the grammar elements of the 2nd quarter assessment. I think that it is important for us to review some of our old standards before we forge ahead.
We will also go back over the class expectations and behaviors. Students take home a sheet to be signed by them and their parents.
Wednesday
High School Field Trip -- Permissions slips were due on the 21st of December.
Thursday
Memoir - Ben Carson & Walter Dean Meyers
Students will read 2 chapters of Carson's memoir and track the characteristics of a memoir. I will also share some of Walter Dean Meyers's memoir as well. These readings and annotations will be turned in daily for a formative assessment grade.
Our grammar standards deal with verbals (participles, gerunds, and infinitives)
Students will begin with participles, more specifically, dangling participles
Friday
Students will read chapters 3 & 4 from Carson's biography and work on participles.
