Welcome back from spring break! I hope you all had a fun and restful time! We are now getting in gear for CRCT's which begin next Wednesday, 4/23.
Also...8th grade registration forms went home with students today. Please complete these and send them back this week!
First Period
Monday - After a DGP, students finished their homophones booklets. No homework
Tuesday - We reviewed the agreement test and then began a review of paragraph basics. Agreement review help session: Wednesday at 8:15 with Mrs. Cedarholm!! Optional test (will be averaged with the first test grade) on Thursday.
Wednesday - We reviewed paragraph basics today. Homework: Write a good paragraph on any topic you choose. Then, highlight the topic sentence, supporting details, clincher/conclusion, and transitions. I suggest you type it so that you can revise and highlight on the computer. The paragraph will be graded for accurate highlighting of the elements.
Thursday - After we checked the capitalization review pages, students worked on a punctuation review
Friday - Students worked on a punctuation review...due Monday - so it is homework if you did not finish in class!
All grades this week have been updated in I-Parent. Please check your progress!
