Follow your syllabus. We are not deviating from it at all today!
“Behold, children are a heritage
from the LORD. The fruit of the womb is a
reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand
of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. 5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.” Psalm 127:3-5

Ms. Price,
Is the Grammar/Writing and Literature class two separate classes, or do they overlap? I am confused because Cole has been penalized for "correct" answers due to grammatical errors or incomplete sentences (although he wrote much more than one word)
Also, Cole seems to be struggling with the crossword puzzle(vocabulary words), on the test. How can he better prepare himself for this part of the test?
by Kelly Stockdale
I'm confused. Do we follow the syllabus or are we to assume that deviations will be taken and you will be giving out grace for those who can't follow directions?
Also, do you accept late work?

While both classes do have different textbooks as focus, the classes themselves are set up to continuously reinforce the concepts needed in order to help students become well-rounded communicators. Complete sentences are required in both classes on everything. Students are reminded on a constant basis to write in complete sentences in everything, so I am not sure why Cole isn't doing it.
For vocabulary, I have suggested the following to all classes to help in understanding/remembering words:
-Look up definitions prior to reading
-Find the words in context within the reading
-Create notecards for study tools
-Write your own sentences using the words
-Rewrite the word and its definition on a separate piece of paper
-Say them aloud every day at least once
by Ms. Heather
We have been using the American Collegiate Dictionary. Should we only use the text?
All written answers from this point forward must be written in complete sentence format.
Thanks, Kelly

No deviations. No late work. As I give ample time for adjustments to the syllabus, which are truly NOT changes in the first place, the rule stands for no late work accepted.
by Ms. Heather
In literature, please use the glossary at the back of the book as the definition given is the way the word is used in context.
For grammar/writing, your dictionary is fine.
We DO go over every definition at least once in class together to ensure that all have the same one.
I sure hope I have been helpful!
by Ms. Heather
You have been more than helpful. Thanks for the clarification.
