I hope all the students enjoyed their new home today! I know I am excited to be here! Tonight for hw, all students need to finish their Benchmark Corrections to both test 2 and 3. Also, they need to highlight all the remaining words in their lit term packet with a different color than they have used thus far.

If any student still has not finished their test, they need to come to my room as soon as they get here tomorrow morning so that they may finish it.

LC1- Student's need to complete Benchmark corrections and begin on the extra credit assignment if they are able to complete it. They must have made an 85 or higher on the vocab test to be eligible to do so. LC1 as a whole has not been turning in their homework. In the past two days, only 2 students have had the homework. Please stay on your child to do the work so that their grade does not suffer.

LC2- Student's need to complete Benchmark corrections. Also, they need to begin on their extra credit assignment if they are eligible to do so. They must have made an 85 or higher on the last vocab test to be able to complete the extra credit. Also, they must read to page 68 in My Sister's Keeper and complete the English and Science handout.

LC3- Student's need to complete the Benchmark corrections. Also, they need to begin their extra credit assignment if they are eligible to do so. They must have made an 90 or higher on the last vocab test to be able to complete the extra credit. Also, they must read to page 68 in My Sister's Keeper and complete the English and Science handout.

All student's should be studying for their Love unit test tomorrow. Ways to study include: applying lit terms to new material (pratice locating tone, mood, etc. in short stories you can find on the internet), use your circle maps to review content of the short stories, your cube to reveiw Bloom's Taxonomy, print lyrics off the internet to analyze, and study the universal themes and be able to provide an example of a story we have read to each theme.

Tonight the students are responsible for finding a song and printing the lyrics. However, the song must have substance and must be able to be analyzed for a deeper meaning. I gave examples today in class of good choices verses choices in which the songs do not mean anything. If student's do not have a printer at home, they may come in during homeroom and print the lyrics.

Happy Progress Report Day!!! Studnets will be bringing home progress reports that they need to get signed and an opportunity for extra credit that they should discuss with you. Additionally, all students are working on a total of 6 circle maps that they will turn in on Friday as their short story project. We have work extensively on these maps in school and I expect quality work.

Tomorrow afterschool, I will be holding a review session for students to stay and play review games to help them with their vocab words. They have a vocab test on Wednesday.
