Week 5

 Happy Saturday!

This week in English we will FINALLY have a test-free week.  I am thankful my students have hung in there and gotten the job done. If your student missed a GATES exam, they will be required to make it up this week.

Your student's first essay is due on Monday. A copy of the prompt with an example is attached. They have had this assignment since the second day of school. On Monday, we will also be going to the library to renew their books. Please make sure your student has their book so they can avoid a fine.
Tuesday-Friday our focus will be on writing, vocabulary, and our short story unit.  This is the first week students will have a QUILL assignment due by Friday.  Thanks so much for your support!

Week 4

 Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend.

Tomorrow we will be having our "tea party" as we read "The Landlady."  Students will be eating graham crackers as we read the story. Please make sure your student has a bottled water to drink tomorrow.   We will continue to work on Vocabulary this week. NEXT WEEK we will begin Quill activities that are due by Friday at noon. They are allowed to work on these during class when other activities are completed, otherwise, they will be homework.

Wednesday-GATES Vocabulary test

Thursday-GATES Comprehension test

Friday-Watch "Tales of the Unexpected-The Landlady" with a compare/contrast activity

September 9-Essay #1 is due. 

Have a great week!
