PROGRESS REPORTS

The building has been like a hive of bees for the teachers this week. We have been frantically working on getting our computers up to doing grades and making progress reports.
I am happy to say that I have a good grade program and can easily make up reports to be sent out, we changed how they are done this year. I hope it is easier for the folks at home to understand.

HOMEWORK: This week in both 10 and 12th we did all of Wordly Wise lesson 3. The quiz was today (Friday). It was rather hard in the 10th grade class. I was a little disappointed in the grades so far.

10th Grade: We read in class Contents of a Dead Man's pockets in the 10th grade class this week. Students are to have the story read and the questions on page 19 done and ready for class on Monday. I would have to guess that I'll give the quiz on CDMPs on Tuesday.

12th grade: Everyone should now have English Literature books.
We finished WW lesson 3 and have read the first section of the literature books on the ANGLO-SAXON's in England. The first real story we are reading is Beowulf. This is a difficult story. I would suggest looking for a movie of it to watch.

Have a good weekend.

PROGRESS REPORTS

Progress reports will be done Next week.
I am not sure when they will be mailed, but I know that they are asking us to have grades ready.

I was very disappointed with the turn out at the Curriculum night here at school. It was Thursday September 15th, 6-8 PM.

Homework - 10th grade - WW 3b is due on Monday, WW 3c is due on Tuesday.
Students are to have through page 10 read for Monday, from their literature book.

Homework 12th grade - WW 3b is due Monday, WW 3c is due on Tuesday.
Students must bring their English book to class. We are starting to read out of the book.

ENGLISH BOOKS

There are officially English Books in the Building.

10th grade students must now see Ms. Perkins in Room 21 after school.

12th Grade students will be recieving their books during class on Thursday, September 15th.
If you are not in school that day, you will have to see Ms. Perkins after school.

ALSO - the Planners were passed out last week and this week. Each student must bring their planner to class everyday. It is the only way you can get a pass out of the classroom.


10th grade work - Each time we start a new story or reading assignment in class we will do the Quickwrite on the page before the story. This Quickwrite must go into your journal. When I check journals, (which I plan to do on Friday) I will be looking for the Quickwrite of whatever story we are going to do.
Currently - I assigned the Quickwrite on Page 4 of the 10th grade Lit book. I plan to look for it on Friday.

Also, WW 3 a will be due on Friday and the Vocabulary words on page 4.
I would like sentences, in your own words - that shows me you know the proper way to use each vocabulary word.

HOMECOMING WILL BE OCTOBER 8.

Quizzes

Reminders of Quizzes for this week.

Tuesday there is a 10th grade Gammar quiz.

Wednesday there will be a Wordly Wise quiz on Lesson 2 for both 10th and 12 th graders.

I plan to check JOURNALS on Friday of this week.

Good NEWS- There are more English books in the building. I hope to get them to students by the end of the week. (This means that Senior English books have arrived, I am hoping it comes with all the teachers editions.)

School is Open today.

I came in today to find the air conditioners running, which means they tried to pull as much power as possible yesterday to see if the system would hold.

Thank you for your patience in the fixing of our problem.
Mrs. Frederick

Wednesday

WELCOME BACK. YES SCHOOL IS OPEN TODAY.

We had a building problem on Tuesday, with a power outage.

I will continue what we were doing and move forward. So, whatever was due on Tuesday, is certainly due today and we will go from there.

I would also like to encourage everyone to find some way, however big or small, to contribute to the relief effort for Hurricane Katrina.
I hope that all family's you may know from the area affected are safe and accounted for.

Homework listing will be put up later.

Thursday - Labor Day weekend

Week 3 has come to a close.
We took the WW lesson 1 test on Tuesday.
We read the new Lesson 2 words on Thursday and started lesson 2.TUESDAY - WW 2 B is due.

Also, anyone who has not finished or needs to redo their Goal Essay - it is do on Tuesday with no exceptions.10th grade has 3 paragraphs and 12th grade has 5 paragraphs.

12 grade should have finished their presentations of the stories we are reading. If we did not finish Thursday, we will continue them on Tuesday.

BOOKS- I do realize that many students may not have a literature book. I have tried to work around this small problem. I took the names of those without books and we are turning in the numbers today, so that they may check on the orders placed for books.

Have a great holiday.
