Check out my new pages

If you want to know what your child will be learning in English class this week, check out the appropriate grade's page to the right. It has a list of lesson plans for the week. If your child is in 5th - 7th grades, their spelling lists are also posted on the side of the page. This is to help your child study at home if he or she forgot his/her list.

I'm really looking forward to a great year!

8/22/11 - 8/26/11

The students learned all about the different genres of fiction and nonfiction writing. They made frayer models to look back on when they need to write a specific genre.

They also learned about prefixes, suffixes, and syllable types to help with they're reading and spelling.

They did an activity to find the main idea and details in a passage and used that information to write a summary.
