Parent Alert!

Parents, while grading papers this weekend, I noticed something I want to bring to your attention. Multiple students are writing capital letters in the middle of words. For example: bottLe caPPs or caJun fooD. No letters are falling below the guidelines when they should. Jj Gg Pp Yy I'm not sure why this is happening, but we need to nip it in the bud! Please look out for this when you are checking your child's homework assignments.

As always, thanks for your support!

Extra Credit: A Rare Opportunity

This past Thursday, I was talking to a friend when she showed me the strangest picture. Take a look:

At first, I didn't get it. It looked like a typical yard sale sign to me. Then, the english teacher in me couldn't resist a good laugh! C'Mon, it's funny! It did inspire an extra credit assignment that I'm offering this week only. Students are to look for a typo or grammatical error in some sort of published print. I'm hoping that they'll find some improper pronoun usages or a subject-verb DISagreement. Only stipulation- they can't make it up themselves. Have fun with it and happy hunting!

Quizlet Vocabulary Practice

This link will take you to the vocabulary we are studying. Students need to be proficient in the use of these words, as they will be used for an exit activity we do at the end of class every day. (Go ahead and try it, parents. You know you want to!)
