Note to Parents Parents of Eighth Grade ESL students, Each week I will endeavor to send the PowerPoint to you of what we accomplished (and didn’t) that week. I have explained that if we don’t complete a task in class then it must be assigned as homework. Today we did not look over the postal codes as I wanted to or write a short paragraph listing the Southeastern states and their capitals and postal codes. Students should write this paragraph for homework. On September 5, students will have a quiz over the Southeastern states, their capitals and postal codes. I am sending you an example of the test and the handouts they should have in their notebook. If students need help with homework, I would rather help them one-on-one after school then take class time. I will devote ½ of the second class of the week to work on homework or to help study for tests in another class beginning next week. Students must know what homework they have, when it is due, and any materials needed to work on it. The students in this class have different teachers so these students must keep track of what they have to do and when they need to hand it in. this information should be in their planner so please check their planner. NOTE: Many student textbooks are online. Your child should be able to locate them online. However, if you don’t know, let me know. In addition, most eighth grade teachers attach all their working document onto GRADESPEED. Look for the teacher and then assignments. Have a great week-end. Lyla Nabulsi
