English IV > Week 9

Happy Saturday, Roadrunners!

I hope you are all enjoying this warm Saturday afternoon and taking time for yourselves. My apologies for being a little late on my email. This week went by rather quickly and I can not believe that next week is the final week before Fall break and the end of quarter one. We spent an extra day in class this week working on completing any missing assignments; it seemed like a good majority of students used this time well. A few others were probably scrambling to turn in missing work before the 4pm deadline on Friday! Here is a quick rundown on what we have been doing:

We finally finished reading ​Beowulf ​and are now in the process of reviewing for our test next week. We also took a more empathetic approach towards our monster, Grendel and provided a unique backstory on what makes him so vicious.

With the cultural fair on the horizon, we are going to begin conducting our research next week and preparing for the beginning stages of their projects. Even though next week we have half days on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I am still encouraging you to send your kids to school. The learning does not stop or get put on hold those days, so anything discussed or assigned during that time will be up to your student to make up.

There are a few things we need for our classroom, so if you stumble across them over break I would be grateful: Clorox wipes, paper towels, and pencils.

Thanks for your time! I hope you all have an amazing weekend. See you Monday.

Best,

Ms. K
