If you would like to earn some extra credit, then I have an opportunity for  you.   Click on the link below this that says “No Comments” or “Comments. “  Type your sentences in the box below and click submit comment.  You must include your FULL name (first and last) and if you don’t have an email address, I can get you one through Gaggle, but YOU have to let me know.

 Write meaningful sentences for 5 of the  vocabulary words.They MUST be meaningful to count.  Remember, a meaningful sentence contains the definition of the word, a synonym of the word, or an antonym of the word.  Don’t forget to put the word in there also!!!!!! 

To receive credit, it must be posted by Tuesday of that week before 3:30pm.  I WILL NOT ACCEPT POSTINGS AFTER TUESDAY AT 3:30PM.  Each posting is worth 10 points.  At the end of the six weeks, I will add the total amount of points received to your lowest Vocabulary Quiz grade.  So, if you earn 30 points and lowest grade you made  was a 70 on a Vocabulary Quiz, then I will add the 30 points to that quiz for a 100.

Good luck and happy writing!

The kids have been working really hard the past couple of weeks creating their Anti-Bullying campaign.  They have created a script which we will begin filming this week.  They have created posters, a webpage template, a survey, and are planning how they are going to present it.  I can’t wait to see the finished product. 

There will be no grammar this week, but there is vocab.  I have given out the new list and it is also on the Vocab page on here.  Look on the right side under Pages. 

I hope the kids are enjoying the class as much as I am. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Have a great week.
