Wednesday, February 11, 2015

Journal entry continued with our Sadlier Vocabulary -- choose two words that are challenging; copy the sentence given in the book and insert the new word;  then choose two words that you can add to your vocabulary now and write two sentences using each word.

Students completed a Guided Review Sheet for our Simple Solutions test tomorrow.
We corrected SS#52 and the review sheet.

Harvard & Yale finished the Readers' Theatre "Robin Hood" and read some informational text excerpts about Medieval Times.

All sections discussed "The Judgment of Paris," a Greek Myth that was assigned.  We examined our comprehension questions and handed them in.

Princeton & Yale began their study of Jack London.

Homework:
SS Test on Lessons 49-52
All test corrections on Test #12 and Grammar due tomorrow (some students already handed theirs in).
Binder signature (organize your binder!)  Parents please don't just sign the white paper; make the kids show you their work.  They should be showing you two tests from the past week on grammar and guided reading sheets on folktales.
Sadlier Vocabulary -- the next exercise (completing the sentence or choosing the right word)
(answer only on looseleaf).
Be sure all journal entries are complete.  I'll be collecting them beginning tomorrow.

Remember field trip forms and $$ due Friday.
A note went home today about the field trip.  Ford City is opening the theatre just for Hale students for a private showing of Selma.  Chaperones welcome.
