Here it is the end of April already. It feels like we just started this year, and here we are 17 days from the end. I know it is hard to stay focused, everyone wants to be outside. Spring Fever is at epidemic proportions right now. Hang in there and the end will be here before you know it.
Wednesday, May 2nd we have our final Reading Inventory (RI) for the year. When you finish the RI you will be given the constructed response portion of the quiz. You will be allowed to use your book, so don't forget to bring it to class. The chapter 8 - 14 Character Study will be due on Wednesday as well. If you are not finished, that is now homework because tomorrow is our review day, so there won't be time to work on it in class. Study chapters 8 - 14 vocab and the chapters of the book for the quiz. Have a good evening. I have attached the 8 - 14 vocabulary if you left yours at home. chapter_vocabulary_8_-_14.pdf Today we worked on some vocabulary practice and continued reading chapters 8 - 14 as well as working on your character study.
If you did not finish the vocab practice, I am attaching the assignment below in addition to the vocabulary for chapters 8 - 14 for those of you who need to finish your definitions. vocab_practice_ch._8_-_14_april_24_ac.docx chapter_vocabulary_8_-_14.pdf As of today we have a total of 30 days left in this school year; this includes weekends.

Thank you for staying quiet in the halls today while 7th & 8th grade were testing. Hooray, we are finished with Milestone testing. On Monday, we will return to semi-normal; our schedule will be flipped due to 7th grade testing, but all classes will meet every day.
You should have turned in your chapters 1 - 3 crossword puzzle today and started working on the character study for chapters 1- 7. The character study is due on Friday, April 20, the same day as your quiz over chapters 1 - 7. There is an extra credit opportunity if you choose to complete it. See Mrs. Hanse to get the extra credit packet. Enjoy your weekend and relax. In the brief time we had in class today, you received a chapter 1 - 3 Crossword Puzzle that is due this Friday, April 13 and a Character Study for chapters 1 - 7 that is due on Friday, April 20. THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK.THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME TO WORK ON IT IN CLASS!!!
The following people have not turned in their field trip permission form and payment: Nathan Burke, Malaika Ngana, Weston Robertson, Kemaria Scruggs, Mikel Witherspoon and Tyndall Young. The extended deadline is tomorrow. This is a hard deadline, no forms or payments will be accepted after tomorrow. The forms are attached. Also, your parents have been sent an email that include the forms.
field_trip_form.pdf Towards the end of the 2nd quarter I started sending emails and posting on my blog that each student would need a copy of the book Flush by Carl Hiaasen by Monday, March 26, so we could start reading the book immediately upon returning from spring break. While many students did have a copy of the book, either electronically or hard copy, several students did not have a book today. Beginning tomorrow students without a copy of the book will receive an Eagle Card mark for coming to class unprepared. Barnes and Noble has several copies and there is a used book store on Main street in Powder Springs that probable has copies. Our final unit is based on this book, so your student definitely needs a copy. If purchasing a copy is an issue for your family, please email me, so this can be taken care of. Thank you in advance for your support in this matter.
