PARENTS:

-Grades are posted in regweb.

-Make sure the students bring copies from the books if they don’t have them. I give points for the work done in the classroom.

-Classroom work is to be done in the classroom. Students that don’t finish their assignments in the classroom will not receive the points for the work. They have plenty of time to do them; they have a two period class. I also don’t write the missed information. Students need to learn to be responsible!

-Make sure your child reviews the material daily.

-I invite you to visit my English blog. In it you can find additional resources to help your child understand better the lessons given in class.   http://www.matias-englishclass.blogspot.com/ 

-Don’t leave studying for the last minute!

Jimmy Goes to the City by Arthur Read Jimmy was a happy ape Until some hunters caught him He liked the jungle better than The city where they brought him The city was louder The city was meaner Even the dirt in the jungle was cleaner So Jimmy made a daring escape! The hunters were suddenly minus one ape! He climbed the tallest building Because from there he'd see How far away the jungle was From the middle of the city. Jimmy jumped into a passing plane But the pilot didn't wait for him to explain Jimmy flew back to the jungle And told his ape friends in their lair "The city's okay for a visit But you couldn't make me live there."
