I hope everyone is refreshed from the holiday break and from our bonus long weekend this last weekend.
While we are all struggling a bit to get back into our routines, please remember that Daily Sheet homework sheets are due on Friday, and we go over them first thing, so if help is needed do not wait until Friday!!!!(Unless, of course, your student has been absent on days leading up to Friday:) Also, 8th grade is now on their own with their DGP with the exception of Friday diagrams. At this point, as 8th graders, they should know their parts of speech and how to find phrases, clauses, etc. If your scholar is still struggling with those concepts PLEASE work at home to build up their skills. ***New this 9 weeks*** ALL students in 8th grade ELA are required to complete a book review over a book that fits in their AR (Lexile) range. We took our STAR evaluation on Friday 1/5, so all students will be aware of what that range is, and I will be sending a letter home as well. Instructions for the book review are on the Google Classroom. We have six weeks until our mid-winter break, and we have a LOT to do, so attendance is very important. Please make sure that if your scholar is sick and has to miss, that they ensure that all make up work is acquired and completed on time. My lesson plans are posted on this website, and most of our assignments are posted on Google Classroom. In the event that nothing is on the classroom, it is the student's responsibility to ask me for make up work.
