Personal News

I have been trying to keep this blog free from personal things. I wanted to keep this blog for class related stuff only, but sometimes these things affect each other.

Some of you may know that I have to move to a new home next week. Due to packing, helping to organize and homeschooling my own children, I am behind on my checking of the writing assignments 1st drafts.

Since the 1st draft was due on Monday, and I am still receiving them, I will finish checking the drafts I have and send them out tonight.

I will not accept any more 1st drafts. It’s 3 days late, sorry. I am however moving the final draft due date to Monday April 13th. I will not accept any written work related to authors after lunch time on Monday.

New System

Starting on Monday we are going back to school through the internet. Which means everyday you will be in class with me through an app called “Zoom” please make sure that you have downloaded it. I will give an instructional video tomorrow for it.

I will also start using a virtual classroom manager website. Next week we will start using it, and by Friday all assignments will be posted there and passed in through it.

Easyclass.com is the website I will be using. Unfortunately you will need to register with an Email address.

I will continue to use the blog here, but (hopefully) by April 20th all homework will be dealt with through the easyclass

The access code to join the class is “76R4-E55D”

Vocabulary work

Each week you have been given vocabulary words. Here is the worksheet to practice.

Science

Like last week, I would like you to watch a video about a plant called the “Vampire weed”. And answer the questions. Questions are due tomorrow. (No later please)

I am asking you to start filling in a worksheet related to your plant that you are growing. The worksheet is due on Wednesday, but every 2 days you must fill in information.
