40 MINUTE CLASSES FOR PERIODS 1/2 AND 3/4
ELA 20
Worked in computer lab on unfinished assignments. Students will now have to do a noonhour to receive a mark on incomplete work. In that way, I can help you. Good job to the students who have completed assignments on time.

ELA B30
Today was the first day of sustained reading. It is a new idea that is designed to help students become lifelong readers. Students may bring in their own novel to read at this time providing it is school appropriate.

ELA A30
Discussion today centered around hypothermia - difficult topic in 30 degree weather. Next Friday will be the open book, essay quiz on Death on the Ice. The charting and assignment #2 (reflection) and assignment #3 (expressions) are due on Tuesday. For the rest of the week we will be concentrating on our final projects for this novel.

ELA B10
We typed the obituary for the character from Warriors Don't Cry. In today's world it is important to know where to find a sample of the writing you are required to do. The newspaper is a good spot to find the format for an obituary. Students should be almost done reading Warriors Don't Cry. Next week will be the test on the novel and final projects. Good job grade 10 we are right on track!
