Race to the finish line!!!!

Everyone is excited about the end of the school year!!!  (Even the teachers are excited!)  What we need to remember is that class isn't over yet!  We still have work to do.

1st period reading students are working on a novel they have chosen.  These novels will provide the foundation for the projects that will be the final grade for this semester.  Directions should be on the blog from last week.  In will accept these from Thursday May 14- Monday May 18.  These are a large portion of their grade for this semester.  The projects I've seem so far are AWESOME!  I'm proud of all the extra work this class does!  They are so creative!

1st period is also working on a vocabulary unit. No test date has been set.

2nd and 6th periods have a test on Wednesday!  They need to focus their study efforts on the guide they were provided with in class on Friday.

3rd and 7th periods are working to finish Bearstone by WIll Hobbs.  7th periods Theme projects are due Tuesday. 

 3rd period has been working on this project in class.  

Feel free to email if you have any questions!  We have a busy week ahead.
