Starting Second Quarter

Welcome back from Fall Break!  We are now one day into the second quarter.  All grades have an in class book report coming up on November 10.  All students should have declared their book and should be reading to be ready for this assignment.

Tenth graders are studying the writing of William Shakespeare, starting first with sonnets.  We will read several sonnets this week, looking at form and meter and analyzing the meaning of the poems.  All work on this will be done in class.  Ninth graders have some IXL work to start off the quarter.  They have three standards on comma rules to review and show mastery.  They will begin studying the American Romantic literary movement by reading short stories from this time and looking at the plot diagram as it applies to each story.  We will also learn about authors from this literary movement.

I look forward to meeting with ninth grade parents at Parent Teacher conferences next week.  Check your email for info on how to sign up.
