Week of March 23rd...To all my celestial tender-hearted pigeon eggs and gallant thunder-darting wafer cakes...

We are studying POETRY!

Students are reviewing several types of poems, learning some new ones, and writing their own versions.

We are currently working on Elizabethan Sonnets.  1st Block and 4th Block have an original one due this Friday.

Friday, we will have a vocabulary tests on the poetry terms given on Monday.

We are also doing grammar almost every day in our warm up activities.  

DON'T FORGET-WE HAVE A FIELD TRIP ON THURSDAY.

What is for homework you ask...MOBY MAX at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes.  Read every night and keep those book slips coming.

Language Arts News

Read, Read, Read...if your child says they have no homework in Language Arts--NOT true.  They need to read every night.  Several students have not handed in any book slips yet even though they should be on #5.

ALSO, they should work on Moby Max at least 20-30 minutes 3 nights a week minimum.



This week, students are doing a short research classwork assignment on a person from the Harlem Renaissance.

Please ask your child if they decided to do the BIOBOX or the BIO POSTER.  If they chose box, they will need 5 sheets of card stock.  If they said poster, then they will need one poster board.

I will have step by step directions for each one.

As always, thank you for all you do.
