Dear Families, 

 

This Week at School:

Please keep an eye out for your student's Homestead Studies folder and be sure that it is stored where it won't be "lost" when your student needs it. Thank you!

In Reading 7 C. S. Lewis, the students are reading Shelley Pearsall's The Seventh Most Important Thing. All assignments, including Chapter Questions, the Reading Schedule chapter pages and due dates, and a link to a set of video presentations for the book chapters, are posted in Google Classroom. The video links were also included in last week's weekly newsletter post for your reference. 

 

In Reading 6 Bluebirds, the students are reading Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, by Jordan Sonnenblick. Students have Chapter Questions, the Reading Schedule chapter pages and due dates, and a link to a set of video presentations for the book chapters, all posted in Google Classroom. The video links were also included in last week's weekly newsletter post for your reference.

 

In Reading 6, Kestrels are reading Elizabeth George Speare's The Bronze Bow. Students have Chapter Questions, the Reading Schedule chapter pages and due dates, and a link to a set of video presentations for the book chapters, all posted in Google Classroom. The video links were also included in last week's weekly newsletter post for your reference.

For LA 6, the students have completed the Pronoun Review pgs. 50-51 and the optional extra credit Pronoun Challenge on pg. 52. These assignments are posted on the LA Google Classroom. There is a Pronoun Test this week.

 

Religion 6, the students prepared for Confession and the lessons are being coordinated between 6-7 and my substitute teacher by Mrs. Meehan. 

 

Conferences and Grades: Since the PowerSchool portal has closed, and I am unable to schedule conferences until December 5th-8th, I will provide a screenshot of your student's progress at your request, to mitigate any surprises at report card time. Feel free to send me an email to inquire about the status of any grade. 

 

Signup Genius: The signup genius link for conferences will be provided this weekend to my room parents, Karen Nimerick and Julie Donovan, to send an email and begin scheduling your conferences. In-person and video conferences are the choices. Priority will go first to homeroom parents since the Fall Conferences are mandatory, and as spaces are available I am very happy to meet with any other families who wish to meet with me!

 

Have a lovely week,

Mrs. Morgan
