September 19-23, 2011

This week we are going to get into the full swing of language arts. The classes are set and we are going to be moving forward quickly. Beginning Monday, the structure of the class will be more rigid. Expectations will be higher and there will no patience for not following directions and misbehaving. Some things to note:

• "The Interloper's test is Monday
• Prefix test is Wednesday
• Literary devices/"Harrison Bergeron" test is Friday 
• If you have any questions, please come see me. I am in the 200s building during break and lunch everyday. I can also meet after school if you give me notice. My goal is to be available to you as much as needed!
