Welcome Back

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday. I did!

We hit the ground running with new units when we return. Make copies of these files and place them into your shortcuts. Remove all 'old' shortcuts.

Poetry Reading Unit: How to Eat a Poem
H/W: You need to bring to Tuesday's class the lyrics of a song you really like. (Choose 'age appropriate' song)

Poetry Writing Unit: Crafting Engaging Poetry
H/W: For Wednesday's class Bring a printed version of an article that you have found on the internet about a topic that makes you angry e.g. $70,000 Missing from Newton Town Donations
You will be writing on this paper, so make sure you have a printed copy

Grammar: Unit 6 Word Choice

The expectation is that you will complete at least 30minutes of Membean practice between Monday and Friday. Those of you that did not complete the last Membean test on  the last day of school last semester will take that test on Tuesday. Well done to those who choose to continue praticing Membean into January: Jess, Jordan, Ethan, Marium and the most hardworking student on Membean over the break (notice the superlative!) ZACK!

What will you do this sesmester to be..."the best that you can be?"

Think about what this means as you plan for the new semester:

Expectation: You will read 2-3 books over the break. Some of your will read more!
Optional: Any Membean practice

Congratulations on all your achievements for the first semester. Have a fabulous, relaxing break.

Happy Holidays!
