6th Grade Language Arts
This week we are finishing our "Character Sketch Essay" and we'll be reviewing for Common Assessment #1 which we will take on Thursday, October 21st. There are no "Word Masters" words this week, so check the Home-School Connection Record for each night's connection.
*IMPORTANT REMINDERS*
Common Assessment #1 is on Thursday, 10/21 so get lots of sleep Wednesday night and eat a good breakfast on Thursday morning. I can't wait to see how much we've learned this year! Good luck!
Due to the test, we will not be able to visit the library together this week, so remember to bring in your library books that are due on Thursday, October 21st and return or renew them.
Final draft of the "Character Sketch" Essay is due Wednesday, October 20th

7th Grade Language Arts Elective
This week, we are focusing on our "1000 Words Project" so bring your paintings every day and your list of words. We have plenty of resources in the classroom and I'd be happy to help you with designing your project.
In addition, we will be working on Unit 1 standards in preparation for the first Common Assessment next week. Remember to bring all your notes and handouts from your language arts classes as we will be reviewing each standard in class.
I hope you all are having a great week and please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Ms. Kyle
