Week of November 2nd
Howdy Parents/Guardians!!
As we enter our 2nd week of the 2nd 9 weeks, I'd like to express my thanks for the continued support and communication. I appreciate all of you expressing your concerns, your inputs and your ideas to help our students be as successful as possible. Please do not ever hesitate to contact me about anything you may need.
The Week Ahead...
We will be diving more into Drama this week...
Monday we will discuss stage directions, conflict in drama and begin reading excerpts from Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper.
We will continue reading this Tuesday, Wednesday and wrapping it up Thursday. Students will be reading this out of there Interactive readers and completing activities throughout the story.
Friday students will watch the Disney adaptation of The Prince and the Pauper and will discuss the similarities and differences between the film and the story using a Venn diagram.
Heads Up!
The week of November 9th students will complete a Unit 2 Assessment. Students will be given a handout to study along with a class period that we will review.
As mentioned before, if students make a grade lower than a 70, they will have the opportunity to correct it for a 70. Students will have 3 days to visit my class during advisory or one of the study hall / tutorial times to complete it.
Survey...
I would like to take a short survey to see how you feel your child is doing in my class. Please click the link and it will take you to the survey for the class. This will help me understand your children and your needs even better!
