Good morning and Welcome Back!

I hope that everyone was able to have a relaxing and restful winter break with your friends and family!

Coming back today, we only have three weeks left in the 1st semester! There is still time to improve your grade, the last day to turn in any missing work to be graded is 1/20.

If you have any questions about your grade or missing work, please send me an email or join my learning lab. All missing work can be found on Schoology under Current Unit in an orange folder.

Today we are also starting our new units, 7th grade will start informational texts and 8th grade will start a mini poetry unit.

Good morning and happy Monday! Hope you all enjoyed your weekends!

Grade book has been updated and learning lab rosters have been updated too!

Please check your student connect to make sure everything is graded correctly.

You have a digital notebook check at the end of the week on Friday!

Good morning!

Both 7th and grade classes have begun to work on the new material for unit 2. Unit 1 work can still be turned in, but will not be graded for full points, since turned in after the original due date.

7th Grade will begin to prepare to read the drama, A Christmas Carol.

• 7th Grade! Remember, your narrative final draft is due on Friday by midnight. You need to turn in the plot draft AND the final draft of your narrative. I showed you my example yesterday in class.
• There is a notebook check coming up, please check that you have the required slides in your notebook. You can use mine as an example. It can be found under the Current Unit in Schoology.

8th Grade will be reviewing text features and CER for argumentative writing.

• 8th Grade! Remember that today is the last day you can turn in your Tell Tale Heart Sequel without losing points for it being late.
• There is a notebook check coming up, please check that you have the required slides in your notebook. You can use mine as an example. It can be found under the Current Unit in Schoology.

Good morning! We start our new schedule today! I have updated the online learning schedule PowerPoint on our Schoology course homepage. It is below the information for learning labs. I also shared the schedule yesterday on the blog.
