September News 2nd entry

     September is almost over!! Wow!! We have been very busy!! In English, we have covered 4 types of sentences, subjects and predicates, compound subjects and compound predicates.  There will be a test on subjects and predicates in two weeks. 
     We are reading Mother Fletcher's Gift in Reading and will have a test this coming Thursday.  Please study vocabulary and try to answer comprehension questions at end of story as a way to review and check your understanding. 
     Paragraph of the week homework assignments are showing signs of improvement.  Don't forget to indent, begin with a topic/intro sentence, add 3-5 supporting detail sentences and close with a concluding idea.  You also have to brainstorm on back of checklist, have  a parent check and sign your rough draft, and type or write your final draft in ink. 
     Many students are not turning assignments in on time. Remember, you have 3 days after due date to turn papers in with points deducted.  After the 4th day, IT'S A ZERO!!! Parents please continue to check Edline for missing assignments and progress.
     I am in need of donated items.  I need tissues, dry erase markers, colored pencils, crayons, glue, and hand sanitizer.  Thanks to those who have donated already!!
