Reading: Reading Reflection (summary and one question)

Writing: Listen to your two favorite songs -- find the literary devices in it! (Use the back side of our literary device work to fill out two sections.  NOTE: You do not need to analyze the whole song!  You are responsible for doing what we did in class, at home.  Pick several lines from a song and analyze the literary devices and the greater meaning.)

Tuesday

Hey class,

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and celebrated those who serve our country.

For homework this week/today:

Math: P.O.W. due Friday, math homework review

M makes mugs in Miami. She makes two sizes of mugs: a small mug that she sells for $2.50 and a large mug that she sells for $5.75. Yesterday M made $56. Before she opened her shop in the morning, she had 200 mugs in her inventory. At the end of the day she has 188. How many mugs of each price did she sell?

Language Arts: Literary Device quiz on Friday (study!)

Vocabulary: WW11 due Friday, Quiz Friday

Reading: Reading Reflection (summary and one question)

Other: GeoQuest

PARENT NOTE:  I gave your child the "summa book list" if they asked for me to make a copy of one last week.  I am in contact with the 6th grade summa teacher and he has provided me with a long list of classics he feels students would benefit from reading.  If you child ever claims that they "don't have anything to read," please have them pull out this list and select a book.  I want to do all that I can to make sure each student is prepared for their academic future and reading such books will further their preparation. Please not this is not a requirement from me, but a challenge for those who are wanting it. :).

Happy "Friday"

Hey class!  Just a friendly reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow.  Enjoy your four day weekend and I will see all of you on Tuesday.

For homework:

I will not assign a reading reflection for the weekend, but you should be reading.  I am not there to really check on you to see if you are doing it, but living with integrity means that you are doing the right thing even if no one is looking.  Always push yourself to be the best you can be.

If you did poorly on your "pop quiz" for literary devices, you will need to study this weekend.  I will be giving you an actual quiz on these concepts next week.  The "final" test for these concepts will be the following week.

Have a great four day weekend with friends and family.  Make good choices and get rest :).

Wednesday

Hey class!

I am excited about our new seating arrangement.  Many of you are working well in your new groups.  For those of you who are struggling with this, remember that people skills are one of the most important things to have in life.  Learn to work well with others - even if they have a different perspective than you. :).

For homework:

Math:  CCSS Review (front and back)

Writing:  We took a pop quiz on the literary devices today.  Please look at your score and figure out which devices you are still struggling with.  We won't work with these tomorrow because you will be taking your quiz.  In two weeks you will take the real assessment to see how well you understand these.

Vocab: Tomorrow will be a big vocab day.  WW10/Quiz is tomorrow.  Your cumulative exam for units 7-9 is tomorrow as well.  Study up this evening!

Reading: Reading Reflection (summary and one question)

Enjoy your night!
