November 9-10 and 12-13

Hi, Students
We'll have a short week this week due to the holiday on Wednesday. Remember to support and remember the veterans here in our families and communities. Don't forget to stop by the lunchroom memorial and take a look at the members honored there. Also, we'll continue to be moving into understanding the beginning of our nation and how Georgia was directly affected. In ELA, we'll continue focusing on subject complements (predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives).
Thanks to many of you who have come late on Fridays for tutoring and to Saturday school. Continue to invest in yourself and in your education!
See you Monday.
Ms. Holden

Monday and Tuesday

Continue working on subject complements. Recognizing subjects and predicates in sentences. Vocabulary Review.
