Ashley Murphy in Fancy Nancy joined by a group of her friends from St. Luke School

Recently, my daughter and I attended a performance of Fancy Nancy, the Musical at Family Theatre in Columbus.  We went to see some of the students in the show, including Ashley Murphy who is in my Language Red class.  I was pleasantly surprised to see a large group of her friends from St. Luke there to support her.  What a wonderful surprise for Ashley!  I am blessed to teach this great group of young women.

Go Lions!

Friday before last, St. Luke had its first peprally.  It was spirited, and incredibly loud!  Even though eighth grade went home with the spirit stick, I thought seventh grade represented well.

This week in Language Arts, we will continue reading Moon Over Manifest.  We will have a test on vocabulary and reading on Wednesday, Sept. 30th.  This week I will also post something on the class blog about your reading, and students will need to respond in the comment section.

Reminder that AR grades are going in the computer Monday, but you still have until Oct. 8th to read and test.  Friday is Grandparents and Special Friends Day.  I can’t wait to see the videos of the grade levels, especially ours!  1/2 Day on Friday – and the following Friday for Report Cards.  Fall Break coming very soon too!

Have a great week.

Test and Stuff

Tomorrow we have a test on nouns and pronouns.  I have uploaded the powerpoint on pronouns to the website. Also, I uploaded the questions to the Noun/pronoun Scoot Review activity we did today.  We will be in the computer labs tomorrow to take the test on Juno.  You should also review your pronoun foldable and be familiar with the different types of pronouns and how to identify them.

Here are some other interactive sites you can use to practice the grammar.
