Week of February 10th

      Students had  a week to complete an extra credit project for poetry,prose, and drama. Those that completed it will have the credit added to the lower test score of either the prose OR drama test. Essays are due this Friday. Students have been told of the time frame.

      I'm sure everyone is looking forward to the upcoming break!

It's February!

We have some catching up from last week.

   Students are beginning their informational drafts on severe disasters. They have had time to research and take notes. There were focus topics to guide them with collecting information. These essays will be due by the break so they won't be on the upcoming progress report next week.

   Our unit on poetry, prose, and drama is being assessed. Last week, we read,labeled, and discuss a poem from Robert Frost. The students took a comprehension test. I will be averaging their sort grade with their poetry grade. Tuesday will be the prose section and on Thursday they will take the drama section. These will be counted separately.
