NO EXCUSES, JUST RESULTS! 

Into Week Three We Go!

Greetings Awesome Newman Parents!

My ELA classes, 9^th and 10^th grade,  are reading really great stories in groups and individually. All stories will be posted to Classjump as students complete them. 

Collaborative Learning:
I enjoy listening to the group discussions as our students are respectful of each other’s opinions. They also provide insight ideas and suggestions to their collaborative group efforts.

HOMEWORK!!!!

We have challenging assignments coming up, the first being the Extended Article Review due  October 24^th. Already, I have received great article ideas from students who are excited to explore topics which interest them. All instructions and information concerning Article Reviews can be found on my classjump.com

Students also have a TAKE HOME QUIZ, which is also posted on CLASSJUMP and due October 31^st.

2nd Six Weeks: We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do!

English I and II (9^th and 10^th Grade) will continue to read and discuss short fiction stories. Student will also be completing their first extended article review which is due October 24^th.

Greetings NIAA Parents,

                                     ~~~

An extended article review involves students choosing an article of considerable length (at least 5 pages or more) and writing a review of that article. I have encouraged students to explore topics that interest them. So far I have receive ideas ranging from health science, sports medicine to music.

The specific requirements for this assignment can be found on my CLASSJUMP.

                                       ~~~

 Student will also have 4 reading log homework assignments  to complete this six weeks. I appreciate all of the newspaper donations. Keep them coming! 

FYI:

Reading logs serve three purposes:

1.  Our students are up to date on current events

2. They are researching, skimming and reading, which sharpens their reading comprehension levels

3. They are responding, reviewing and writing about the information they locate

October is an exciting month here at Newman:

**October 14-17 is HOMECOMING Spirit week!**

*****COLLEGE NIGHT! TONIGHT 6:00PM!

Have an awesome Week!
