Today in Language Arts the students created a rough draft of their I Am poems.  This is a memoir in the form of poetry.  The students worked on a rough draft while in class today.  Their assignment for this evening is to go home and edit their work or have someone edit their work.  Once they have completed the editing process, they are to create a final draft of their poem.  This can be typed or hand written.  They are to use the piece of construction paper they were given in class today as a backing for their poem.  The other half of the construction paper should contain a picture that relates to their poem.  This could include a picture of them, something they like to do, or something the aspire to in the future.  I have encouraged the students to be as creative as possible with this assignment.

The end of the marking period/semester is this Thursday.  I have grades completely up to date.  I will be grading these projects tomorrow and submitting grades on Thursday after school.  Please make sure all homework assignments are completed before school on Thursday.

The journal topic for today was to write about the book the student is reading or just finished reading.

Spirit Week is currently underway.  Today was Sports Day and tomorrow will be Blue and White Day.  As of now, the seventh grade students are in last place.  We need to step up our game tomorrow in order to be the victors of the school.  I hope everyone has a wonderful evening!
