Weekly Update for Nov. 12-16!

First off, let me apologize for not having posted over the last few weeks.  We have been so busy, and time is just flying by.  I can't believe we are already in the 3rd six weeks, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are upon us.  As we begin the 3rd six weeks of school, we are wrapping up our fiction unit with a week of drama.  Today, we took drama notes, and the students were given a short homework assignment over drama that is due this Thursday, Nov. 15th.  We are also finishing up our first novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (YEAH!).  We are filling out our card responses tomorrow and will have a major test over the novel Thursday, Nov. 15th.  Thursday is also library day, so please remember to put those library books in your backpack so you don't end up with a late fine.  Friday, Mrs. Johnson, our 7th grade counselor, will be coming into the classroom to give a guidance lesson to all students.  Next Monday and Tuesday we will be taking our unit assessment over our fiction and drama units that we have been studying.  This is nothing that the students can study for.  It is basically reading passages and answering questions over the passages read.  Then we are welcomed by a much needed Thanksgiving break.  I hope you all have a Thanksgiving full of many blessings for your family!
