DOBERT ELA 7

The WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE is tomorrow!

Please bring a nicely wrapped gift.

If you can’t think of anything to bring, just look around your house and find something funny!

Wrap the gift in nice paper or use a gift bag.  Just make sure no one can see what’s inside.

If you’d PREFER to bring a real gift, please DO NOT spend a lot of money.

See y’all tomorrow.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. *light saber noises*

As you know, I try to never give homework on the night after a big test, BUT …

I just wanted to remind everyone that the WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE will be on Friday, December 18, 2015.

Please review the WHITE ELEPHANT adjective sheet and start looking for the perfect gift.

Please do NOT gift anything that could be dangerous – spoiled or open food, broken glass, etc.

If you want to bring snacks or drinks, you should start thinking of 7th GRADE (or higher) LEVEL adjectives for your snacks and drinks.

BW:

Use a color pencil or marker to revise and edit your “Does your family celebrate Christmas?” bell work.

• FIX punctuation and capitalization.
• CIRCLE spelling mistakes.
• ADD more details or important information.
• DELETE off topic information.
• CHANGE baby words into higher level vocabulary.

THEN … write a NEAT final copy in your composition book (page #1). Do NOT skip lines. Use your BEST handwriting.

Same homework as last weekend!

• Read 15-20 minutes.
• Summarize on loose leaf IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
• Ask mom or dad to sign.

Hopefully, you’re well into your book by now or maybe even finished.

Remember … if you pass the hot seat, you won’t have to take the library book test.

ware – an item or object that someone makes, usually an artist or a crafter (The jewelry artist invited everyone to her shop to see her wares.)

My sentence: The clock maker invited everyone to his shop to see his wares.

And I didn’t even look in the dictionary!
