421: Your word wall word is due on Wednesday (11.28.12). It should be a word that comes from the book you are reading independently, NOT THE SAT WORDS I GAVE YOU IN CLASS ON THE SMART BOARD!!

***Both Classes***

SAT Vocabulary Quiz Thursday 11.29.12. Study all of the words and prepare for the vocabulary games on Wednesday.

SAT Words you need to know for Thursday's Quiz: adamant, intricate, dilapidated, ameliorate, exacerbate, belligerent. STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! : )

Please remember we all (421/401) need to help others. Ms. Willis' class is collecting Holiday cards for sailors overseas. They sacrifice themselves for the good of our country so let's sacrifice our personal time to create a holiday card for them. Please read her flyers that are posted on the walls to find out what materials you should use or ask Ms. Willis.

PBH Due 12.3.12:

Please research online and:

• Print ONE article that supports sports programs in schools. Type into the search engine (google or bing)  "benefits of sports programs in schools" click on a link and read the article.
• Print ONE article that supports why sports programs should not be in schools. Type into the search engine (google or bing)  "problems of sports programs in schools"click on a link and read the article.
• Please make sure to read the article before printing so you will know if it is worth printing, of interest to you and others and how many pages long. For example, you don't want to waste your ink by printing something that has 10 or more pages and has advertisements. However, it is up to you.
• The reason you need to print these articles early is so that you will have a repertoire (wide selection of resources) of articles to choose from once you choose you whether you are FOR or AGAINST sports programs in schools.

If you have any questions, please email me at thereadingcafe@aol.com Monday-Friday no later than 7pm. If you cannot print at home you can come up with a pass during lunch on Tuesdays for 8-421 and Wednesdays for class 8-401 and print from my computer. If your parents allow you to go to the library with your card, please print it there. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSES!
