Hello All,
We are 25 school days away from the end of the year. We are so close; make sure your determination remains strong!
Tomorrow we will have our 3rd Touchstone of the semester. This will once again be an opportunity for students to earn extra credit if they improve on their last Touchstone score. It is also good practice for the EOC (which is in 10 school days. Eep!).
We will be finishing up Romeo and Juliet next week, with our test on Thursday. We'll have 2 writing assignments, one this week, one next week.
After that and during EOC week, we'll begin to read Lord of the Flies. The media center has copies for many of the students, but not enough for everyone. If you purchase your own copy, then you'll be able to write notes directly into your book, which is something that I usually prefer, personally. Your student could also download a copy, either on a Kindle reader, or using the Kindle app, or another digital reader. They will be able to use this version in class. If you are not able to obtain a copy of this amazing classic, as I said, the media center does have some copies for checkout; however, if you are able, please help those who are not by obtaining your own copy. All students will need a copy, either borrowed or bought, by May 2nd.
Our final exam and final writing assignment will cover this book.
Let the final countdown commence!
