This week please finish Chapter 10, Lessons 2-5.  The writing assignment is five-paragraph essay in the first person.  You may find it helpful to follow the pattern set forth in References 31 & 32.  

Well, it certainly has been an eventful weekend in Tupelo and the surrounding areas!  Many yards need some extra attention this week, so I am deleting the writing assignment for this week’s lessons.  All you need to do is finish lessons 2-4 of Chapter 9. Also, parents, I will be sending out grade averages for the first quarter by email this week.

I am away from home with food poisoning, and I’m posting this from a very poor memory. This week, please finish all of Chapter 8, EXCEPT for the Lesson 5 writing assignment. Your writing assignment is CHAPTER 9, LESSON 5.  It’s a 3-paragraph essay. Please text me if you have questions. My cell is (662) 397-3234.

This week we are working on Chapter 7. We did all of Lesson 1, the practice sentence on page 119 of the Teacher’s Manual, and went over the writing assignment in Lesson 5. Please complete Lessons 2-5 at home this week. Don’t forget to study past pairs of synonyms and antonyms.  There is always a section on the tests about these, and they can really bring down your grade if you don’t refresh your memory! Have a great week!  

This week we finish Chapter 6. Please finish all vocabulary, practice sentences, workbook exercises, test, and the writing assignment.  And of course, up to 6 daily grams.

This week we finish Chapter 5. Please finish all vocabulary, practice sentences, workbook exercises, test, and the writing assignment.  And of course, up to 6 daily grams. For the writing assignment, you will be writing two paragraphs; the first paragraph is in the first person, the second paragraph can be the same paragraph with a change to the third person. Are practice sentences now include prepositional phrases, so if you are having trouble identify them, please review prepositions.  You can find a list of them in Jingle 9 of Chapter 4. Also, don’t forget to review your pairs of synonyms and antonyms before you take the test.  

This week we worked on Chapter 4. Please finish Lessons 2-4 and complete the writing assignment in Lesson 5. I gave you another guide sheet on which to write your rough draft.  Use this sheet to also improve your sentences like we did in class with our labeling sentences, then type or write neatly your final copy to turn in next Friday.  Have a great week!

We are now fully into our class/homework routine! I’m so proud of how all my grammar students work diligently to accomplish everything we need to do in one short hour on Fridays.  Keep up the excellent work! This week, finish vocabulary, practice sentences, workbook exercises, test, writing assignment, and optional daily grams for Chapter 3.

We completed a lot in class for Chapter 2!  For next Friday, please complete any practice sentences, vocabulary list 2, workbook exercises, and Chapter 2 test.  Remember, there is no need to do exercise 6 on the test. There is no writing assignment for this week. Also, keep racking up those extra credit points with Daily Grams if you like! Happy Labor Day!
