First Week is done!

So we have already gotten much accomplished this first week.
1. We jumped right into American Literature with our Native American stories. ("The World on the Turtle's Back" and "Coyote and Buffalo")
2. You took an SAT Practice test so I can see what we need to start working on as far as grammar and vocabulary are concerned.
3. You wrote for me what your "American dream" is, which gave me a glimpse at you personally as well as your writing styles.
4. I introduced you all to the blog and most of you posted a comment to the blog so that I know you can access it on your own.

We will continue this coming week with group stories and presentations, reviewing the SAT Practice test, reading about the early settlers, starting with our first set of SAT vocabulary words, and I will be issuing the Family Tree project.

I hope everyone who had issues with their schedules are getting those taken care of and you are happy with the classes you are taking.
Make sure that you have your supplies for class everyday: binder, dividers (Native/Colonial Americans, SAT Vocabulary, Grammar Review), highlighter, paper, pen (blue or black).
I want to thank everyone that participated this week with reading outloud or sharing an answer/comment. I hope to get even more of you participating because as I said, the more enthusiastic you are about the class the more excited I get about teaching you.

**Don't forget about the Summer Reading assignment. You need to have your two books read by the last week of September to take the quizzes on those books.

Have a great and safe weekend and see you all soon!
