Homework & learning updates
Exams are this week! Be sure to be at school, well-rested, and ready to write daily.
We are are working hard on writing expository essays this week! Students in my first block should always have their copy of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court with them, and students in my second block should all have an independent reading book of their own choosing with them.
There will be a book fair on Thursday evening! Please make every effort to come; it will benefit the ELA department at AJ, and we love any opportunity to get more books into the hands of our students. Homework Monday - Complete the chart on p.137 in SpringBoard Tuesday - Parallel structure worksheet Wednesday - Read “Saying Fairwell to a Faithful Pal” and highlight all the clunks.
