Finally Getting a Chance to Post!

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to type another post.  This week has been crazy between work and home with my two boys starting their soccer games.  Today the prefix/suffix homework was due.  Once again, for the most party everyone turned in the assignment, but I have a few who didn't.  I can't stress it enough how much a zero will drop your grade point average.  Homework for this class is not going away, so get those assignments done and turned in on time.  We have read chapters 1-6 of Tom Sawyer.  I am giving a quiz over those chapters in class tomorrow, and the students will not be allowed to use the book or their guided reading. I have advised them to look over their guided reading for each chapter tonight to better prepare them for the quiz tomorrow.  I will not be here tomorrow afternoon, but Mrs. Lana (Tudie) Hathaway will be subbing for me.  They couldn't be in better hands.  She is an amazing person and a great teacher.  Next week we will kick Monday off with a new round of academic vocabulary consisting of tone and mood words.  We started our fiction unit this week looking at setting,tone and mood and will continue that unit all throughout next week.  With all that said, I wish everyone a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable weekend!!:)
