Weekly Plans for February 17 -21, 2020
This week will be devoted to Vocabulary Quiz # 14 (Tuesday), and the beginning of the Macy's Project. Of course, diagramming sentences will be included in the weekly lessons for practice. Each student will receive a "packet" containing all the necessary information regarding the individual sections of the Macy's project (job application and rubric, persuasive essay and rubric, interview styles and techniques, and all necessary dates for completion of the various parts). There are NO CLASSES on Monday, February 17th, due to "Presidents' Day".
Monday: No Classes (Presidents' Day)
Tuesday: Vocabulary Quiz (usually scheduled for Fridays)
Wednesday: All students will receive a "Macy's Project Packet" We will go over the packet in its entirety, and make sure ALL students understand their responsibilities and the due dates.
Thursday: Today, we will be concentrating on the filling out, and completion of the application process. I recommend that all students make, at least, two (2) copies of the Macy's application. In the past, students have made mistakes, and, this allows them the opportunity to have a "clean" application to hand in when it is due.
Friday: Students will be given time, in class, to work on and "fine tune" their applications in preparation for next week's portion on the "persuasive essay".
Throughout the coming weeks, various sections of the Macy's project will be discussed, and I will be available for any questions about the ongoing process. Also, we will be spending many class sessions explaining everything, including the persuasive essay, interview skills and techniques, and how to correctly fill out a job application.

Weekly Plans for February 3-7, 2020
This week will be devoted to finishing To Kill A Mockingbird chapter discussions and the continuation of diagramming...with the addition of indirect objects and compound sentences.
Although we might not get to discuss the final chapters of the novel on the dates scheduled on the reading schedule, ALL STUDENTS should have the book completed by Thursday, February 6th. The date for the test will be announced at the end of the week.
Also, this week will be slightly modified because the 7th grade will be going on a "field trip" on Monday. Therefore, there will be no regular classes on that day. We will NOT have a vocabulary unit because of that. Also, I will not be in class, on Thursday, Feb. 6th because I am accompanying our Spelling Bee winners (Aidan Kramer and Brett Satisky) to the district Spelling Bee at the Cottage School, in Roswell. Students will use that class time to catch up on any reading for To Kill A Mockingbird.
Monday: 7th Grade field trip to various religious facilities throughout the Atlanta area. This is, always, one of my favorite trips. It allows the students to see and experience the different religions in the Atlanta area and compare them with Judaism.
Tuesday: (Blocks 2, 3 and 5) We will go over the chapters (up to, and including, Chapters 25 , 26 and 27). We will, also, continue with diagramming practice...with the introduction of indirect objects and compound sentences.

REMEMBER: ALL STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE THE BOOK COMPLETED BY TODAY, FEBRUARY 6TH. Any chapters that we have not covered, will be addressed in the coming days. The date for the test will be announced on Friday.
Friday: We will use today as a review and "catch up" day for any chapters not discussed. Also, there will be a contest on diagramming, where the class will be divided into 2 teams to compete for some "homemade goodies".
