Homework

Yes, homework has been light this week in an attempt to get vocabulary tests scores up.  I asked that students study their words this week and nothing else for Language Arts.  Don't worry homework will return next week ...with a vengeance.

Update for this week...

Students will be bringing home graded papers on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.  Please make sure you ask to see them and initial them.  They need to bring them back to school to place in their binders. 

Progress Reports are expected to come out on Friday.

Vocabulary Test on Thursday!

Week of September 17th

Vocabulary Words this week:

gnashed
gaiety
sprawly
rummage
pinafore
rasping
simultaneous
indignant
appalling
scoundrels

Homework Monday night- look up definitions.

Test on Thursday!!!

There will be no Take Home Folders at the beginning of the week.  We had lots of students out sick last week and I cannot give back quizzes until everyone has had a chance to take them.

We will begin J. M. Barries' classic, Peter Pan, later this week.





I have enough books for everyone and we will be reading the novel in class.  However, if you believe your child would benefit from an electronic reader--they may bring theirs to class. 

Please know, however, that NCS will not accept responsibility for any lost, stolen, or broken devises.  If your child would like me to hold it in the room during the day, that's fine.  They will need to stop by my room at the end of the day to take it home each evening.


Our Vocabulary for this week also comes from Peter Pan.
1.  spires
2.  engrossed
3.  enchantment
4.  clad
5.  commotion
6.  delectable
7.  rollicking
8.  placidly
9.  prim
10. pirouette
