2011 students will have to get a MINIMUM of 90% 3 and 4 for me to do my next "stunt".
If you have ideas/suggestions please send them over via email or post a comment of 
what you would like to see me do. Until a class can get the 90% or better the 
"duct tape dare" will be up for grabs by the NEW 6th grade!

Homework

Summer Reading Book Report Form

Parental notice:

If you see an assignment listed on schooltool.com and it is blank that does NOT mean your child failed to do the assignment. Certain assignments are added to the grade book in anticipation of a student doing the work ahead of time.

BkRpt2ndQtrA was added on November 15, 2011. This does not mean it is due on November 15th. It just means that that I am anticipating children doing a report this quarter.

Thankfully,

Mr. Slevin


May 15, 2012-  Budget Night-  6-8pm

1- Which play/team did you like best (Yes, you may select your own team)? 

2- Why did you like that particular play/team?

Bring in a book to read, work on any missing book reports.   Maps testing will return on May 30th, you should have a book to read after you finish the test.

June 4- End of year

Study for the final exam.  The English FINAL exam will occur on Wednesday, June 6th and Thursday, June 7th .  The final will have questions ranging from quarter 1 through quarter 4 material that we learned this year (including the novels).  And Then There Were None will NOT be included on the final exam (since we just had a full novel test last week).  Remember the final exam is worth 20% of your YEARLY grade!  Study all past tests, homeworks, and especially class notes.  

The final exam will cover the following novels:

Where the Red Fern Grows              

The Man Who Was Poe

It will also cover the following elements of Language Arts:

Reading Comprehension, Capitalization, Punctuation (Ex: commas, apostrophes, contractions, quotation marks), Spelling, Sentence/Not a sentence

Literary elements as they relate to playwriting (Ex: character, setting, exposition, complication, resolution), Parts of speech (Ex: nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs)

Poetry (every term, and example found on castlelearning.com)

Bring in your textbook.

June 12th and beyond:

If you missed seeing your child's play on budget night, send me an email and I will arrange time for you to see it.  Thank you for a wonderful year, have a happy summer.

Can you stump Mr. Slevin? Every week students will be given the opportunity 
to ask Mr. Slevin the definition of a vocabulary word (Provided it starts with 
any letter prior to S in the alphabet). The word may NOT exceed six letters. 
If they can stump him they will get a weekend of no homework! In addition 
to stumping Mr. Slevin they will also have to guess a 3 digit code to a website 
(hey I can't make it too easy). The code will change on a daily basis.
 {login} Hint: The 3 digit code represents a measure of weight
