I am sorry that I missed some of you at Parent-Teacher Night. I apologize for not being there to meet with you and talk to you. However, I have been in the hospital this week and I am now recovering. If you have any concerns about your son or daughter, feel free to contact me by email or by phone. I plan to be back to school next week. We have continued to work and prepare for testing. This week, my students have worked on reading and grammar skills in preparation for the DEA and the PLAN Tests. CCR students are working on Compass Practice Testing.

It is hard to believe that it is already time for mid-terms!

I am so glad to have your sons and daughters in my classes this year! They are doing great!

We may be working harder than ever, but we are enjoying what we are doing.

English 10/Pre-AP:

We are reading the poem "Digging," and we are definitely "digging" into it!!

We have vocabulary once a week. We have completed three lessons.

Students should at least be reading a library book at home right now. One SCREAM Report is due each nine weeks. Find out if your son or daughter has read a book yet and given a report. (Each extra report is worth 25 bonus pts.)

We are getting ready for DEA Testing and PLAN Testing coming up in Sept.

If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me.

If your son or daughter needs to stay with me, have him or her let me know. I will be glad to help.

CCR:

We have worked on practice tests, reading, and some grammar. Right now, students are working on a writing assignment due Tues.
