Language Arts with Ms. Textor

This past week in writing, classes have been editing one anothers papers with the correct editing symbols and signs. Students are also in the process of conferencing with the teacher to determine what changes need to be made to create a successful paper. Students began typing up their final copy of their story. Final stories are due on the 21st ELECTRONICALLY ONLY. The classes will have time in class Monday and Tuesday to type their papers. In book clubs, students read chapters five and six. While reading students answered questions about each chapter while looking up their Hunger Games vocabulary words to determine which definition was used in the book specifically. Some book club groups were also taking a look into the origin of specific words and their meanings. Next week students will be quizzed on these chapters.

This month we are focusing on Gratitude for this months moral focus. We have talked to the students about things that they are grateful for and how to appreciate what we have in our lives, not to take items or people for granite. Students are making a gratitude jar over the course of the month to list things they appreciate in life and are happy for. We encourage you to talk to your student at home about their class gratitude jar.
