HOMEWORK

RELIGION
Christian Service Activity # 2 is due Wed., March 31.

READING
Make sure you have your literature circle book in class every day from now on!
Click here for a list of the Literature Circle groups.

SSR Third Trimester:
Click here for an SSR Approval form.
Click here for SSR Directions

Click here for the 3rd trimester summary form. There is a new form for the third trimester. It asks you more questions about the book, but after reading our two novels together, this should not be difficult for you.

IMPORTANT SSR INFORMATION: You MAY write your summaries on one or both of the two books you will be doing in Literature Circles the third trimester. This would be instead of an book you read on your own. I'm doing this because you will be expected to read every night for your literature circle so it may be too much to read two books at night. However, your summaries will need to "knock my socks off!" After all, you will have been discussing that book for 4 weeks with your group so you should know it inside and out! If you do read a book on your own, that summary would be extra credit!

SOCIAL STUDIES:
none

WRITING:
We are writing our autobiographies in class. Start looking for some photos you would like to include. You should have enough photos to fill one 8" by 11" paper.

EDLINE INFORMATION
We hope you and your child have been able to successfully access Edline. It is meant to not only give you easy access to your child's grades, but to be more "green" and save paper. Because all grades are posted on Edline now, we will not be sending home individual progress reports for each student. However, when a student's grade falls to a C- or lower, we will send home a progress report. This also applies if a behavior or work habit grade falls to an NI (Needs Improvement). Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
