Hi Kids,
Today we corrected the apostrophe worksheet - many problems were highlighted as ones that you will see again in the future (wink, wink). Vocab quiz is tomorrow. We all created flashcards for the "bonus" words that will show up on super-challenge and extreme quizzes.
To find out what level of quiz you are taking tomorrow, you must look on Powerschool and see what level of quiz you took last time and how you did on it. If you aced that level last time, you must take the next level up... no slacking... you're here to push your intellectual limits, kiddos!
Homework: Study vocab. Make us proud. Continue to work on visual presentation. Bring in a can.

More Apostrophe Madness and Vocab Review
Hi Folks,
So, we will clean up any remaining apostrophe rules today. Please see the shots of the board for reference. You will also be given time to check-in with Mr. Stowell regarding your visual presentation. Is there anything you need for the live presentation? Some kids asked for a table, which is cool. Some kids asked for the projector camera, which is cool as well!
You'll be filling out exit cards for today's class, asking you two things:
How well you understand the apostrophe business, and where are you at with your project.
Homework: the same as yesterday.

What's Up with Apostrophes?
Hi Kids,
Today we did a little vocabulary review and then talked about apostrophes. Those are tricky little things indeed. Please refer to the notes in the previous post.
Also, I passed back your instructional essays. If you didn't get the grade you wanted, you have until this Friday to rewrite. Remember: I'm stingy, so to get any credit for a rewrite, you must fix EVERYTHING - especially the instructions, if they aren't detailed enough. You also MUST include your previous draft for me to even accept it.
Homework: Continue studying for vocab quiz, continue working on your instructional presentation, AND apostrophe exercises 1, 2, 3, and 4 are due on Thursday.
