June 11 - 15, 2012

This is the last week of school. My lesson plans look entirely different this week. There are several events scheduled which will make a normal schedule difficult. Friday is an early release. Thursday is a field event day. Other events will occur. Therefore, my plans are as follows:

Reading- We will write short stories and review short story videos for plot, conflict, resolution, theme, etc. Most responses to those will be written.

Language- We will complete a series of grammatical worksheets.

History- We will focus on subjects of the colonial period in America. This will involve ESD 113 video segments, written responses and discussion.

Points can be given until the last day for classwork. All of our tests are completed.

Have a great summer!

Mr. Ellis
