Week of March 17-21, 2008

What a great set of test scores on the Word Wall Words!  Both classes produced strong performances; several of you raised your cliff-hander grades to a 90 or 91!  And, best of all, you're much better prepared for seventh grade grammar and literature.

Let's take a break from "terms" and apply your knowledge to another writing piece.  Please compose a typed paper of 10-12 lines using the appropriate format on the subjects we discussed in class.  (Bassett hound ...or...?)  We'll have a time share on Monday.  This assignment will be worth 15 points (the prewrite 5 and the final copy 10) .  Please staple them with the final copy on the top.

The Language Arts teachers are responsible for documenting the March novels.  I will begin this process when you give me your A.R. printout.  It is due, however, by April 15.  (after Spring Break).

Thanks for a strong grading period!  So many of you have attained A's or sustained A's!
