It's ELECTION DAY! Urge everyone you know (who is old enough) to get out and vote! Such a wonderful right we have in this country, and so many people have worked hard to get a vote.  Very exciting day in our nation!

This week we have been reviewing grammar.  So far we have discussed subjects, predicates, prepositions, and prepositional phrases.  You have a preposition poem due TOMORROW at the end of the class period.  The instructions for this poem are copied and pasted below, as well as an example of a preposition poem.

Also below are the DLP sentences that we have had so far.  Please remember that the next test for this is scheduled for November 18.  You should be reviewing your vocabulary and the grammatical concepts involved with these sentences daily. I shared the Quizlet with you today, and we will also have one period of review in class on November 17.  The rest is up to you!

How crazy to think that this is the last Wednesday of October already!

Everyone has presented their nonfiction projects, and Mr. Leis has been teaching this week, focusing a bit more on text features and text structures, with some group activities and independent assessments. 

We have also continued with DLP and our modern version of Romeo and Juliet.  The next DLP test is planned for Friday, November 4.  Just like usual, we will review the day before, on Thursday, November 3.  Stay tuned for the Quizlet link and any other necessary information regarding this test. The uncorrected version of the DLP sentences are shown below.
