Reading Response Due Dates by Trimester

Homework Week of September 10th

HOMEWORK THIS WEEK:

• Trivial WOW due Thursday, Sept 13th
  (Please do not forget to proofread before you turn this in. Did you spell everything correctly? Did you capitalize correctly? Did you use correct punctuation? Did you use a conjunction to create a complex sentence?)
• Mrs. Jewls Vocabulary & Mrs. Jewls reading comprehension quiz Friday, September 14th
  
  

Word of the Week Example

Here is an example of how a Word of the Week assignment should be completed.  As I mentioned previously, I am not an artist, nor do I pretend to be.  I do consult the internet often for images to help me.  I would likely NOT try to draw a person in my WOW assignment because I know that is not my strength.  Instead, I used symbols to show Batman and the Joker.  Remember, a conjunction must be used to get full credit for vocabulary usage.

One more school supply!

Hello parents,

For students in my homeroom, I have asked that they bring in a small plastic bin to fit on the top shelf of their cubby.  The purpose is to hold items such as crayons, scissors, colored pencils, extra pencils, etc. Students share their desks with another class, so this provides a space where no one else will have access to their things.  Sorry this was not on the original school supply list, the room did not have cubbies previously, thus I was unaware that this was a need.  Finding something around your home or The Dollar Store is a great place to find one.
