Language Arts Class Work and Homework
*Keep looking for your root words in your outside reading and TV/movie watching. You can earn extra credit each time you bring an example of these words from "The Real World"!!

Bring ALL SUPPLIES to class each day: a book to read, journal, pen and paper, LA folder or binder.

Once again, you will have very little homework each night. My expectation is that you will spend time planning and working on your SRA throughout the 9 weeks. As always, I am available for tutorials if you have any questions or would like to run ideas past me.
