Science:  Look around the house this weekend and select items to create your ocean animal/plant.  You will need to bring these to class by Tuesday.  Also finish questions 1-14 on the study guide if you did not do so in class.  The DSQ quiz is planned for Tuesday, and the chapter 14  test is now Wednesday.

Chapter 14 test is Tuesday; supplies are due Tuesday; DSQ quiz is Wednesday.

Many things are happening in class!  Be here if at all possible

English:  If you have been absent this week, I hope you have been keeping up with your missing assignments!  Each day we have added a new diagram frame.  Tonight on p. 338 diagram the simple subject, simple predicate, predicate adjective or predicate noun and modifiers for the following sentences: 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 20.  Do not include prepositional phrases.

English:  You guys are doing a wonderful job diagramming sentences!  If you missed class today, please review linking verbs with predicate adjectives/predicate nouns on p. 337.  Read the top of p. 469.  Diagram the simple subject, linking verb, and predicate adjective or predicate noun on p. 469, exercise 5.  Add the adjectives as shown on p. 469.

Science:  There is no homework tonight.

Supplies are running out!  Please shop for paper and lead for pencils; we have five more weeks of school
