This is the last week of spelling for the year.  I will give the students the typed copies of the words and definitions.  The choice is given on Monday and due on Tuesday.  The test is Friday.

In English this week, the rough draft of the research paper is due today!  The work cited and table of contents will be explained today and the students need to work on a rough copy.  Final papers with the corrected title page, table of contents, outline, paper with citations, and work cited are due on Friday typed!  THIS PAPER COUNTS FOR 9 GRADES!  Failure to complete the paper may result in loss of field trips until the paper is completed.  This paper is basically the whold last nine-weeks grade in English and it covers several SOLs.  It will also be counted as a grade in science, so it is important that students get this completed.  NOte cards must be here by May 7 also so that the students can start working on oral reports.  Remember that being able to take notes is another part of the SOL we are working on at this time.  The research paper SOLs are covered under the Reading SOL test.  This is also our last week for the Sentence Test and there are no more PS boxes this year.
