Last Full Week Before the Holidays!

Well, you can definitely tell that we're heading toward winter.  It's kind of cold out there!  In between grading papers and running around supporting my kids in their endeavors, yesterday I was able to clean up the outside of the house - the final mowing of the year happened, along with composting the pots of annuals and putting outdoor furniture away.  I feel like we're ready for the winter holidays to commence - sort of.

This is our final full week before the holiday season kicks off.  We have a lot to accomplish, even though last week we did quite well meeting the deadlines I set.  Last week English 9 finished Act I, which is the longest of the acts to do.  It's where all of the introductory notes and information are, so it feels like it takes forever!  English 10 finished the second section of "The Palace Thief" and wrote their second analytical paragraph. We capped off the week with a wonderful and moving Veteran's Day assembly.  It sure made me proud to be a part of this community and my country!

So here's the schedule for this week:

English 9

• Monday, 11/13 - we'll hand back some papers, then we'll finish off the study guides and vocab. cards for Act I and turn them in (1st Hour has already done this); we'll do the Activity Packet for Act I that focuses on Romeo's character.
• Tuesday, 11/14 - Academic Advisory - 2nd Hour will work on prepositions (1st and 3rd finished the unit); quiz for Act I; we'll begin Act II with a study guide.
• Wednesday, 11/15 - 2nd Hour prepositions; continue Act II
• Thursday, 11/16 - PSAT Advisory - TURN IN READING LOG #10; 2nd Hour prepositions; continue Act II
• Friday, 11/17 - no reading log this coming week (Thanksgiving Week); finish Act II; silent reading.

English 10

• Monday, 11/13 - possessive nouns; finish reading and annotating "The Palace Thief"
• Tuesday, 11/14 - Academic Advisory - possessive nouns; final quiz for "The Palace Thief"; begin analytical paragraph #3
• Wednesday, 11/15 - possessive nous; finish and turn in analytical paragraph #3
• Thursday, 11/16 - PSAT Advisory - TURN IN READING LOG #10; movie for "The Palace Thief"
• Friday, 11/17 - no reading log this coming week (Thanksgiving Week); movie for "The Palace Thief"

That's the plan.  I hope everyone has a great week!  Ciao!
