Week of August 27 - 31

Welcome to Week 3 of the first semester.

Last Friday,  my substitute collected your bell ringer responses from last week.  You should have completed five bell ringers (one for each day of the week), and all five of your responses should have been on only one piece of paper and clearly labeled as I have instructed.  Please remember my late policy, and be sure to turn in your bell ringers no later than Tuesday (8/28) to receive credit for your work.

On Monday and Tuesday (and possibly Wednesday), all students will be taking the District Baseline Critical Thinking Exam.  After all students have completed this testing process, we will continue our study of how to write complete and accurate sentences.

Wednesday: Students received a handout on Sentence Agreement and Sentence Review (see pictures below).  Their homework is to complete the FRONT side of this worksheet at home.

Thursday: I will lead a discussion to help the students accurately complete BOTH SIDES of the worksheet.  We will also review the information learned from this work.

Friday: The students will be quizzed on their understanding of this worksheet.


Please remember to check your grades in FOCUS on a regular basis to make sure you have turned in all assigned work.

This week's bell ringers are as follows:

Monday & Tuesday:  NO BELL RINGERS due to District Testing
Wednesday: Would you rather have more time or more money? Answer the question, and explain your answer.
Thursday: What are the steps you must take to replace a "0" that you will receive if you turn in an assignment without your name on it?
Friday: Copy the following quote, and explain why the second comma is necessary.
"If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them."  - George Orwell
