Westing Game Novel.

Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Don't be an Utzel.

Reminders:

FOCUS THIS WEEK: Westing Game Vocabulary and Comprehension Chapters 24-30

Parents, all students should be reading a biography and take notes on the Early Life, Later Life, and Accomplishments of that person. They will be putting together a power point the week we come back from Spring Break. Vocabulary Tests this past week were not very good. Students are "checking out for Spring Break" a week ahead of time. Grades go in on Friday. I will call parents if you have a D or an F. Unfortunately, I will not be available any day after school this week. The only time I can give help is Thursday during lunch. Homework: Finish reading Westing Game; Novel Test on Thursday

FYI: Ask you child about weekly vocabulary and comprehension tests. Some are not doing well. They need to be reading every night. Also I have taken the students to the library to select a biography of their choice. They have a biograpy project that is due on 18 April. I will try to put the requirements on line.

Also, this week I will not have any after school sessions except for Tuesday. I have other committments for the other afterschool days.

Monday:

Read Chapters 26-27 : Vocabulary retakes will be given after the Novel test on Thursday.

Tuesday:

Read Chapters 29-30

Wednesday:

We will review for test in class. Study for Novel test on Thursday (Character Matchup, and multiple choice questions. Vocabulary TBA) Retakes for failed vocabulary quizzes will be given after Novel test.
