What's happening in class?

The week of November 6th through November 10 will be a short but busy week!

In L.A., I will be returning character sketch expository essays.  Students did very well drawing pictures of their admired family members and friends with words.  Please stay tuned for some well written student examples.  I'll be posting at least three of them soon!

Throughout the week, we will be reviewing verbs and verb phrases.  Students will be learning about action, linking, regular and irregular verbs, all for the purpose of improving their writing.

In reading, students will be reviewing for and taking the chapters 8-14 quiz on our novel, Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie.  We will then continue reading chapters 15 and 16 before the week's end.  Though Jeffrey seems to be getting worse, with the help of his family and friends, Steven, our main character, is surviving the reality of his brother having Leukemia.  Stay tuned to see wat happens next.............

Here's to a good week!  Happy Veteren's Day!
