September 13-17, 2010

Hello everyone. I apologize for not posting on last week.

This week our focus will be on Rudyard Kipling's "Rikki-tikki-tavi". We will also be working on the four kinds of sentences.

Our first project is due on Friday, September 17, 2010 and can be turned in earlier. Late projects will result in a reduction of 15 points on the first day it is late and 25 points the second. On the third day projects will not be accepted at all.

Homework this week will be Grammar workbook pages 16-17 which is due on Thursday.

Beginning next week, the English portion of our class will change. We will begin having mini lessons daily and will go into detail of each concept only on the B-days.

Check back soon for further updates.
