Hard work pays off!

The time has come to finalize your essay and turn it in. Those who were online over the weekend saw that I have been editing all weekend long, trying to give you the opportunity to make your essay the best it can be. WRITING IS A PROCESS. Some students have now edited four or five times. Each time, the writing improves. This week, we begin adjectives and adverbs, a fabulous unit on a literary concept called The Hero's Journey, and PURIM!

Day 1: Complete and print your essay. Turn in a PAPER COPY, along with your pre-writing, by the end of the class period.

Day 2: Adjectives and adverbs

Day 3: The Hero's Journey

Day 4: Purim celebration - no classes.

This week's homework:

Read your chosen novel.
Membean (45 minutes by March 4) - I am going back to grading Membean minutes. Too many students are not following my instructions for learning new vocabulary.
Root words unit 8 - begin learning word meanings
Reflective journal due March 4 on Google Classroom.

Sadly, one of the eaglets fell out of the nest. It did not survive. The remaining eaglet is doing well.
