As you know, we celebrate birthday events once per month. This month Paxton had her birthday.
Homework
Homework for period 6 is to read Chapter 14 in the book Where the Red Fern Grows.
Be prepared to participate in a discussion on how the war affected Joel's opinion of himself.
Those students who wish to earn extra credit should review the link: Red Fern Questions & answer questions 1-3.
Tip for Parents!
Next month I will begin a month long writing assignment with all 9th grade students. At the end of the project your student will bring home an autobiography. I will ask them to write about how they were named, what other names were considered, what their favorite holiday is and why, and a host of other questions to inspire even the most reluctant writer. Please feel free to bring out old pictures and relive important moments in their past -the discussions will help them and please you.
