Week of 9/26

I will be reading and grading the Watsons Essays all week. It takes a while for me to do a thorough and fair job of evaluating them. Please be patient. This week we focus on grammar, specifically nouns. On Friday is a unit test on this topic. I will give you a study guide in class on Monday.

MEMBEAN test on Monday
NOUN UNIT test on Friday

You will receive the next class novel, The Giver, on Friday. If you are reading Out of my Mind, keep it, and read it as you have time.
