End of First 9 Weeks--Time is Flying!!!

I cannot believe Fall Break has come and gone, and that it is already Oct. 21st!!!  Halloween, my favy fave holiday, is right around the corner!!  Again--hard to believe how quickly the school year is flying by..... 
I must be getting old because I sound like my mom saying that!!  LOL  :)

This week in 8th Language Arts we are unraveling the steps to the Process of Writing.  We are focusing on Pre-Writing--how to do it, what it is, what it means, etc.  Lessons and lectures all this week will focus on the Pre-Writing step.  Ask your child about terms like Freewrite, Brainstorm, Web Cluster, Graphic Organizers, and a good ole' fashioned Outline.  They should be able to explain to you what all of those terms mean by Friday.

Spelling Lesson #11 is due Friday, along with the spelling test.

Vocabulary Workbook Lesson #11 is due Thursday.

We will write in our Journals everyday this week.
