Our counselor, Mrs. Haag, wanted to make our parents and students aware of the following upcoming events:

February 5: Student Assembly with Lassiter

February 8 at 6:30 PM (Lassiter Gym): Open House and Curriculum Fair

February 13: Students to bring home registration materials

February 15 from 5:00-7:00 PM (Lassiter Media Center): Open Forum for parent questions

February 16: Registration materials due to Mabry Homeroom Teacher

Please email Mrs. Haag (sarah.haag@cobbk12.org) with questions.

I highly recommend attending the Open House and Curriculum Fair. Also, it is important to thoroughly read the registration materials carefully before making choices. Prompt return of materials is necessary to insure that your child is registered on time and receives the classes that he or she selects.

I just wanted to remind my students that they will be having a quiz on "Choice" on Wednesday, January 24. The students must be able to write the definitions of all 9 vocabulary words and be able to answer our two essential questions on our literature selection.

From Jan. 15-Jan. 26, we will be studying the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. We be analyzing the speech's metaphoric language and use of vocabulary as well as the events of the era. Alice Walker's "Choice" will also be read orally and discussed. A vocabulary and essential questions quiz will be given on Wednesday. We will also be illustrating different passages with our own visual interpretations of King's use of metaphoric language. Our grammar unit on pronouns will begin January 29 in preparation for the CRCT.
