2nd Trimester---Here It Comes!

Dear Parents and Students:

Thanks to those students who worked hard last trimester and were diligent in following through with responsibilities. Let's keep the same positive attitude and willingness to achieve for the second trimester which starts Monday (11-8).

We are continuing with The Outsiders and will finish the novel by Thanksgiving holiday; afterwards students will complete a poetry unit including creating their own poem booklets.

Continue reading at home for at least two hours per week. Students, please have one of your parents sign your planner while you provide the book's title and number of pages read. I check planners every Monday for the parent signature; it is worth 10 points. Here is some good news! Whenever we have a four day weekend or more, the parent signature is extra-credit! This means you students have the chance to earn 20 points of extra-credit (Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks) early in the trimester. Good luck concerning this on-going homework assignment.

Thanks for all your efforts and support (students and parents),

Mrs. Munro (Go Cougars---True Blue 'till the end)
