Midterms Study guides

Students will be given the topics that they need to review for the midterms. IF your child has taken notes on what we have learned so far all they will need to study from is their notebook.
This is a website that will help your child with extra review

Directions: Have your child select the grade level and grammar skill that they will be working on. 6-12th grade is in the same category ,do not fear, do the same thing when you get to the worksheets. 6th graders do worksheet 1, 7th graders do worksheet 2, and 8th graders do worksheet 3. The website will give them review worksheet, compete the worksheets and then have your child look over the answer keys. Doing this will give your child the opportunity  to see were he/she is having trouble . When we come back from break your children should have questions on the work they have reviewed.

Extra Reminders

The school SPELLING BEE competition is Thursday 9, 2011. Each class has two representatives that will be apart of the competition. Remind  your children to look over the list of words.

Reminders

1.       If homework is not handed in the day it is due it cannot be made up and the students is given dentition.
2.       Tests are not to be taken in pencil. If a student wants to use pencil to do homework, and take class notes that is acceptable.
3.       When children are given a research paper, if they copy and paste their work from a web site they will receive a 0 for their paper. Plagiarism is not acceptable.
4.       If a student wants extra help, I am always willing to help. They must take it upon themselves to come to me and ask.
5.       It is the students’ job to copy down their homework and test. Students are never given TEST without ample time to study. If they do not write it down when they are told about it, it is their own fault.
6.       If a student is absent the day before a test that does not excuse them from the test. Students are well aware of the test they will be having everyweek, not only  do I tell them the test are  posted.
7.  If a student is absent it is their job to find out what they have missed and to make up the work.

Weekly Vocabulary


Personification is giving human traits (qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics) to non-living objects (things, colors, qualities, or ideas).
For example: The window winked at me. The verb, wink, is a human action. A window is a non-living object.

Metaphor is when you use two nouns and compare or contrast them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison.

Simile is when you compare two nouns (persons, places or things) that are unlike, with "like" or "as."

Imagery involves one or more of your five senses (hearing, taste, touch, smell, sight).

Repetition is when you have a word and use it more than once.
