Hello everyone, this is Mr. Jones writing.

Today was an "easy" day: students received their vocabulary words and definitions (the test for these words is on Friday!).  Apologies to the 5th period students that were in class yesterday: you were given the wrong list.  The silver lining is that you got to learn/re-learn some additional vocabulary so stop complaining     :D.




HW:  Study your vocabulary words; turn in your persuasive essay/project if you have not already done so; return your "Glory Field" novels; return your Literature book that was assigned to you at the beginning of the school year.

Friday's Blog, June 1st


Mr. Jones writing here!  Sorry for not having a post here in some time.  We had some issues with some students in the handling of the blog and it was shut down for awhile.  Hopefully we will be posting every day for the rest of the year.  If you were absent, it is your responsibility to check with me or one of your classmates regarding missing assignments.

Today was a short day due to the performance of "The Wizard of Oz"!!  WOW!!  I am so impressed with what our students accomplish----absolutely incredible.  Lots of laughs and drama too!  "THANK YOU" to every one who helped, even in the smallest way.

Today I collected the Reading Journals, 15.1 - 15.4 (Monday was a holiday, so no 15.5).  I also collected the Persuasive Essay/Projects.  If you didn't turn in any of this work, please get it turned in a.s.a.p.
We also took the second vocabulary test of the semester.  If you were absent, it is your responsibility to arrange a time with me to make it up.

Please return your "Glory Field" books as well as you textbooks that Ms. Nakada assigned to you at the beginning of the year!!  That's it for now....see you on Monday!!
