What an AWESOME job everybody did! I hope we keep up the great work ethic and have just as many A's next week!

Keep it up!!!

EXTRA CREDIT!!!

Students can get extra credit for doing what they SHOULD!!!

1. On Friday, students can bring in a note signed by the parent that says they studied vocabulary together for AT LEAST 15 minutes. If I get this note, I will automatically add 5% onto the student's vocab quiz grade.

2. Every 3 units, we will take a TEST on all 60 words. If students bring in ALL 60 flashcards from those units on the Thursday before the test, I will add %5 onto their test grade. A note signed by a parent will add 5% as well, so a student could get 10% added onto their vocab test. That's a full letter grade!!!

Literary Terms

If you are reading this, your child responsibly gave you a piece of green paper to sign. I'm so glad they did!!! I hope to update this blog on a regular basis in order to keep you and your teen on track in my Language Arts class.

So what's going on this week? Well, Friday greets us with a test on literary terms. We have been studying them all week - we even finished our flash cards today, so you can help them study Thursday night.

It may seem crazy, but mid-terms are right around the corner! Students are working for 5 points by September 26th. I like to give you an idea of where your child is in their reading, so it doesn't come as a complete surprise at the end of the quarter.

As always, if you have any questions, contact me as soon as possible!

Have a great (and hopefully much cooler) week!
