Hello Parents / Guardians !!!!
God’s blessings to you all.
Our Jr. High classes are enjoying their books. Please remember that the homework assignments will vary depending on what gets accomplished in class, so make sure the kids are showing you their homework spirals every night. The students will get much more out of reading the wonderful books I have assigned when their work is completed and they can jump in and enjoy the class discussions.
The ninth grade are now reading a wonderful Sherlock Holmes mystery - The Hound of the Baskervilles. The kids are to complete certain worksheets as they read the book. (See Below) It would be such a help and a blessing if you could please check their progress at home. I will be giving surprise Pop Quizzes checking on this work. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Character Attribute Web - each student chose a particular character to study.
Prediction Chart - documenting any aspects of plot that arouse their suspicions.
Understanding Values - analyzing the values of the main characters
Vocabulary List - Upcoming test from Chapters 1 through 6.
**International students have an abridged (simplified) version of this book. The chapters are different than the unabridged book the other students are reading. Instructions/assignments will reflect this difference to avoid any confusion.
Homework Assignments
Each day before students leave class, they will always write down any homework in their Homework Spiral. By habitually checking for assignments in the evening, parents/guardians can help the students complete their work and be prepared for the next day of class.
Good communication between us is crucial. If you ever have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Together, you and I will help your children to success beyond their wildest imaginations.
God's blessings to you.
