WELCOME TO MRS. LINAREZ'S

CLASSROOM WEB PAGE

We are back to "normal", working out of the reading books and the workbooks.

1/2 Period kids have earned enough "AWESOME" points (for good behavior) to watch a movie. On Friday, February 10, we will be watching Puss in Boots.

This is a website where kids can practice their vocabulary for each week's reading selection and there are some other activities like words searches, etc.:

• Highlight key words in the definitions - cover the definition and repeat those words orally
• Have someone in your house give you an oral test
• Draw pictures to represent the words

STRATEGIES FOR STUDYING SPELLING:

• Have someone give you a pre-test on Monday
• Write your words 5 times each on Tuesday
• Do an oral test on Thursday
• Have someone give you a written test on Thursday - then study those words that you miss

LATE WORK POLICY

• Homework is expected to be turned in on time. Any late work will receive 70% at the highest , depending on the quality of the work..
• Late work will be accepted up until one week before the end of the term in order to receive credit.
• Students who are missing 2-3 assignments will be assigned to SCP(Schoolwork Completion Program), which is Tuesday through Thursday from 2:34-4:00. Parents have to arrange for transportation. On larger projects, students may be assigned to SCP in order to keep up with the process. SCP will start second term.
