Friday-Vocab Quiz #3/Sentence patterns

We have been learning sentence patterns to use in our writing. This is one thing that the ACT evaluates on the writing portion of the test (varied sentence structure). The students have been learning different ways to express themselves using the different patterns. We will finish learning through the first eight patterns this week and will have a test over 1-8 next week.

Also, the Magazine Sale is going great! Thank you for your support thus far. The next "turn in" day will be Wednesday, September 14th. The students will qualify for a "money pen" or more "ducks"...ask them about the ducks!!! We are asking each sophomore family to sell at least 10 subscriptions. This will ensure that we meet our goal for fund-raising!

Lastly, Mr. Yohn and Coach Cleveland introduced to the students a new program called "Talk about It" and we all registered this week. You should have received an email regarding this program, and if not, please contact me.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or comments...I love hearing from you!

Thanks,
