Can you believe after this week we will be almost halfway through the first marking period? Progress reports are coming up quickly and I hope all of you have been keeping up with your grades in this class and know what you have to do to earn the grade you want. If you have not checked your grade, please do so soon. If you are unable to check your grade, please as me. If you have questions about your grade, please ask me after class or email me. As I said in the beginning of the year, I want everyone to know where they stand so please don't be afraid!
Mythology, you get to play teacher for a bit this week as you present your posters. Afterwards, we will move on to the lesser gods of ancient Greece.

You can expect your Parts of Speech test from last week to be returned to you on Monday or Tuesday.
This week will bring our grammar unit to a close. We will learn about the 3 types of verbs, adverbs, propositions and conjunctions all this week. Most of our notes will be taken on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so if you are absent please be sure to copy them from a classmate. Thursday and Friday we will practice and prepare for a comprehensive test on all of the Parts of Speech next Monday. Please do not wait until the weekend to begin studying. This test covers a lot of material and it would be wise to break your studying into sections throughout the week.

Tuesday: Look over notes from action and helping verbs.
Wednesday: Review notes on prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
