We began discussions on The Pearl with emphasis on literary analysis. Below are some class notes should anyone need to download a copy of them. We will continue with this tomorrow. The test on this novel will not be till next week. Students will be given a specific date for the test tomorrow.
In addition, all students need to be working on their personal speeches. Presentations dates were given out yesterday. These will begin this coming Monday. Everyone has the instructions and expectations in the Writing section of their language arts binders.

Happy first day! We are off to a great start and are excited about this year. Your students were given much information today including expectations, requirements, procedures, etc. etc. I am sure most are on overload!
Here's a recap:
- The syllabus is to be read and signed by parents and the student. These are due on Wednesday.
- Summer reading logs are due by Friday to their 3rd hour teachers.
- The Pearl will be discussed and tested by the language arts teacher. My students need to have the book with them in class by Wednesday.
- Three ring binders are required for my class. We wish students to have these in class by tomorrow or as soon as possible since we will be starting to use them then. In addition, 5 dividers are also required, though these may be bought or handmade.
- Cobb County folders will go home, and included, you will find a list of the papers your student needs to return to school to their homeroom teacher. We would appreciate these be returned as soon as possible.
- Should you have any questions, always feel free to contact me or any other teacher. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to teach your children this year and invite you to come visit our class at any time.
