Hello, hello! Our 2nd quarter is underway, and getting busy already! I was especially proud of the Block 1 POST-test scores; lots of progress! Currently, we are beginning to cover the core curriculum for Block 2 as well as beginning our class novel, The Pigman.
- The final spelling test from our "Frequently Misspelled Words" list will be Thursday, October 28 for A-day students and Friday, October 29 for B-day students. Here are the words: foreign, exercise, equipment, embarrass, desperate, accidentally, absence, different, definitely, conscience, committed, cemetery, calendar, business, broccoli, believe, apparent
- All the reading for The Pigman (by Paul Zindel) will take place in class. Any student who is absent will need to check out a copy of the book from our school library to get caught up. (As there are only 10 copies in the library, purchasing your own copy is encouraged and rewarded!) Every 1-2 chapters we will be answering comprehension questions and recording vocabulary definitions. It is up to each student to stay caught up with the reading and questions!!
- All compare/contrast essays (done on utahwrite.com) should already be handed in to class drawers. Dixie College students in a "teaching writing composition" class will be reading our essays and offering suggestions. I will be delivering the essays after school on Tuesday, October 26... any missing essays will lose BIG points!
