Hello, Hello,
Welcome to National School Choice Week! Thank you for making the choice to be here at Telesis!!
I will no longer be attaching worksheets on the blog. Please see the new gradebook and you can download directly from there. I hope that this will help to avoid any confusion on assignments. If you can not access your childs gradebook please e-mail me and let me know. I will be able to resend the welcome letter with your child's password
Otherwise narratives will be delivered as soon as they are all put together. In class we will be starting our new novel Sounder and a new chapter in grammar we are now on Nouns. We will be writing a summary on color phobias and we of course have a new spelling list.

Hello, Hello, Hello,
Welcome back!! I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday and a restful break. We have one week left in this semester and therefore that last chance to bring up any grades with corrections or any late assignments. Also I am super excited that the following week intermediate gets to try out a new online grade book. Some parents have already received welcome letters. Please e-mail me your thoughts on the new grade book so that we can decide if it is worth purchasing next year.
This week we will be wrapping up The Island of the Blue Dolphins. We are going to once again do the paper bag book report. I was really pleased with how well they turned out last time that I want to do it again. Students are allowed to draw pictures as there are fewer items that can be found around the house for this book however if they still need to be done well in order to receive full credit. Otherwise we will be continuing with verbs, and a new spelling list. As far as writing we will be writing a response to literature essay on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. This will make some students very happy as they have made some really great connections and have been previously not allowed to write about those connections.
I am adding some old assignment links in case students are missing them. I do apologize that they were not put on earlier last week was beyond packed and then I started feeling so bad that I ended up having to call in sick on Friday. As a result some of the assignments that should have been collected may or may not have been turned in. Because I was not there I will not even take late points. These assignments were due the Friday before break- winter cursive, the three little pigs essay
Previous Work-
chapter 23 and 24
Chapter 21 and 22
Dino Summary
Baseball Summary
This Week-
Paper Bag Book report

Hello all,
I am so proud of my homeroom! They did such a good job on our Character Trait play last week. Thank You to all the parents that were able to come out and show your support. This week we are continuing to read Island Of the Blue Dolphins. Karana is a great role model on how to be resourceful. We are moving forward with Verbs and Direct Objects in Grammar. Both classes have done a really good job on our first type of summary writing and this week students have all week to complete the last one. Students should be bringing in what they are working on if there is time in class and if they would like any pointers before the final copy is due on Friday.
By Friday
Five Paragraphs a very short intro paragraph, a three paragraph body on each dinosaur and what they have in common and a very short closing paragraph. DINOSAUR

Hello Hello,
I am pleased to announce that we are well on our way into Verbs in grammar. We are reviewing how to conjugate and identifying verb phrases. In reading we are also getting into our new novel Island of the Blue Dolphins. I cannot wait till we get a little further because that's when it really starts to get interesting. In spelling we are on week 12 and focusing on plurals. In writing students received their first rubric on the journals and will get a weekly grade. There will also be a new essay assigned very shortly.
Other than that I enjoyed all of your parent teacher conferences and appreciate all of support. Their were several AR tests taken today. I am so happy when we can all work together because these kiddos are very smart and when they know that you and I are on the same page students work harder!
Monday- Chapter 3 IOBD, Grammar pg 36
Tuesday - Chapter 4 only, Grammar 37/38 and 39/40

Hello Hello Hello,
I am so sorry but the usb stick that I have been using all week is no longer working and any of my new assignments are not able to be loaded. I will work as quickly as possible to get the blog updated. Thank you for your patience.
I am so excited to see what the students Paper Bag Book Reports look like. Students will be presenting the ten items that they felt represented ten significant events from The Great Gilly Hopkins in an oral presentation.
I am very pleased that most students did very well on their Preposition test this past week. We have a couple of wrap up assignments with prepositions before we move on to Verbs. Students will have another writing assignment this week and we will continue on in Spelling.
Last week students were made aware of any missing assignments that they had and I am happy that most students took this as an opportunity to turn those assignments in. I will be sending reports home if students are still missing multiple assignments as a way to bring them up one more time before the next progress report.
Please be aware that November 1st and 2nd there will be no school for students. However they should still attend the Parent Teacher Conferences. Times will be sent home this week.
