Please purchase all supplies listed on the MYP supply list. As it states, when you receive your schedule and assigned Language Arts teacher, you will then purchase the 2 additonal novels to be read this year. I hope you're having a great summer!
Parents, please recognize our hard work this past quarter during a very difficult quarter. We studied literary techniques- understanding the development of themes, characters and plots and then responded to that literary material from our own personal and critcal points of view. We also studied and applied geometric concepts as well as computed area, perimeter and volume in polygons. We completed expository writing and delved into more difficult grammatical study.
It was a tough quarter and we're proud of the work we did and the grades earned! Remember that a C means your student is doing exactly what he/she is supposed to be doing. As extensive and challenging the work may be, an A is not always warranted within our high standards in Room 301-A. Rest assured that your student worked hard for the grade earned!
I am invigorated by our new website! Now, if winter would just end!We are now well into our 3rd quarter and should have school supplies to meet the needs of the rest of the year.
This quarter, we will be reading a class novel while in our pursuit of analyzing words, learning new reading strategies, improving and expanding our knowledge and working out how it all relates to us. Writing about that relationship through extended resposes in preparation for ISATs is on the agenda for this quarter. We will also begin writing expository essays. To top off our exciting quarter, we will begin geometry.
