English - Mr. Ragis

What's going on this week:  

This week, students considered an article on space exploration and completed a related organizer.  Students also reviewed the different types of adjectives and had some time to get caught up on missing work.  Next week, students will explore another informational article on space travel and analyze related vocabulary.  Once again, students will be taking the NWEA test on 5/14 for their last day of standardized testing.  Due dates for work next week include the adjectives packet (5/13), the April/May reading log (5/15), and the goal setting worksheet (5/16/).  There are only 4 weeks of school left for students, so please encourage your child to stay up on assignments!  At this time, there are still many students have missing assignments.  As always, assignments are available in class for make-up, and they are also posted in Google Classroom.

Advanced English - Mrs. Nofs

Week of 4/22 - 4/26

This week, we will start the week off with a vocabulary quiz on Monday, which covers words chosen from Chapters 7-9 of our all-class novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.  (This was pushed from last week due to having Thursday off.)  We will also discuss and review  the writing in parts 3-4 of The Book Thief.  Students will then be taught some signposts to look out for when they close read the next section of the book for next week. In grammar, we will continue our new unit on pronouns, covering lessons on object and possessive pronouns.  We should also be able to get through reading chapter 10 of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
