Criteria for vocabulary notebooks

Here is a visual of what is expected for your vocabulary notebooks:

As you can see part of speech in parenthesis, the vocabulary word, the definition, and a sentence that you came up with. Your vocabulary should follow the format that we discussed in class, we also placed a reminder template at the beginning of our vocabulary notebook. Hope this helps you remember what is required for credit. ;)

The generosity of OUR school!!!

Vocabulary Notebooks

It seems as though some of us are having trouble with getting our weekly vocabulary done and turned in on time. Vocabulary words are given to on the Friday before they are due...and you are given a week to turn them in. This is the only homework that is assigned in this class, and it IS worth a grade. We really need to buckle down and work on our time management skills.

Progress Reports

Progress Reports will be coming out soon! Make sure that you get those vocabulary words done and study, study, study for your tests on FRIDAY :).

A Week at a Glance

This week in ELAR we will review the graphic organizers that we learned about this past week. Also, we we will work on the different types of sentences. We begin what will be an all year study/review of prefixes, suffixes, and affixes with this weeks prefixes non-, un-, dis-, and mis-. Reading focus this week, How text and graphic features help you understand what you are reading better.
