WEEK of 4/27-5/1

Our very own Alexander Hubik is in the National Scrabble Championship this weekend in Providence, RI along with Group 5 Green students Maya Leete, Ali Cook and Max Peterson. Good Luck to all our Group 5 students.
  • Students have 30 minutes of math each night five nights per week. Students should do all corrections before moving on to new material. If you have a question about your homework please call me at 978-352-8237. If we cannot resolve the issue over the phone I will make plans to meet with you in the morning.
  • Students should be working on their Science Fiction Fantasy essay for at least 30 minutes each night. Students will be receiving continuous feedback in class but this is a work in progress. Students should always be writing or revising until the final draft is due!
  • Students should be reading at least 30 pages of their independent reading book each week. I am taking a break from the reading logs and will be requiring students to do an individual assignment this week based on their book.
Monday 4/27
  • Math 30 minutes
  • Science Fiction Fantasy: Final Draft due. Teachers will edit the stories this week and return to students for final revisions

Please come to school prepared with your well-rehearsed speech, your tri-fold board and your model or demonstration. Snacks related to your topic are not needed until family and friends night that night.
Thursday 4/30
  • Reading Comp Unit 22 and YES you must do the "Write About It."

Friday 5/1 Girls Night Out
  • For the next 30 pages of your independent reading book choose a character from your story. Write me a letter as if you are that character describing yourself to me. Your description should include both physical characteristics and personality traits as well as give me a feeling for the storyline of your book. This should be 1-2 pages typed, 12 pt. font, single spaced. This assingment is in place of your reading log but should be done in your reading/writing notebook.
