Grade 8: TEST Tuesday on G&L roots, book 1 unit 3. Book orders due Tuesday, December 4. Bring materials to decorate your writing notebooks on Thursday, December 6th. ***Parents: Please help your child become a writer by purchasing a Writer’s Notebook. Any composition-style notebook will work, but it should have a secure binding (spiral bound pages tear out easily and may be lost.) An ideal example is a black & white marble composition book found at Target, Wal-Mart, or Staples. We will spend some time in class making the notebook special by adding pictures, photographs, ticket stubs and other artifacts that are important to your child. Please encourage the collection of these items at home. Making these together allows us great time to talk about our interests, likes and dislikes, and is an important part of being a writer. If purchasing a notebook is a hardship, please let me know and I will obtain a notebook for your writer. Notebooks should be brought to class the week of Monday, December 3. We’ll decorate on Thursday, December 6. *** Grade 7: Be sure to study for your key terms quiz on Tuesday. Draw two pictures that define one of your vocab words-- page 72. You should have two pictures with at least one word represented in each picture.
