WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 This week students will be studying tone and mood. Next week we will be studying the elements of plot. We are doing projects on our chrome books in google classroom. This will prepare them for high school where most of the honor classes use google classroom. This week students have a test on Wed., Sept. 21 st over eighteen Greek and Latin affixes and roots. They have known about this test since last Monday and have had the notes since then to be studying. The final book project for this nine week grading period will be due next Wed., Sept. 28 th. This due date was announced in my newsletter the second week of school along with the first two due dates for book projects. I will accept no late projects. Students will receive a second set of Greek and Latin roots and affixes to study for the next vocabulary test which will be towards the end of next week, probably next Thursday. Remember that September is Attendance Awareness Month. Students can help their homeroom win a pizza party by coming every day to school this month. Students with perfect attendance the month of September can also be entered to win individual prizes. September is also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The 7th graders have an opportunity to contribute money to the collection jar or buy candy after lunch that contributes money to fight Childhood Cancer. Help your child contribute his or her change to make a difference in the lives of a family dealing with cancer. Thank you.
