Literary Elements and Literature Circles

Can you believe one week down? I believe that we have about 20 weeks left in school, and friends that is relatively speaking a VERY short time to get you prepared for those tough middle school teachers! So what are your two great fantastic awesome DYNAMITE teachers going to do? Well, throw you into a literature circle and have you identify all the elements of course! Over the next few weeks we will be looking at Plot, Character, Setting, Theme, Atmosphere, Point of View, Dialogue, Imagery, Climax, Resolution, and Metaphors.

We know that some of you have picked some really GREAT books to study out of, and we are excited to see you find your talents in your small groups! We know you will shine.

This week is going to be another fast one! We have quite a bit going on in the Science Lab classroom! Who will be making all the observations this week? Did our fish survive? I heard it through the grapevine that one of our worms didn't. You know, Mrs. Yadon and I have trouble harvesting worms! Last year the little guy climbed clear out of the container and landed on the floor- And when he was found he was no GUMMY worm!

Tutoring Monday for those of you staying for Math tutoring. Tuesday we have Art or Music, Thursday is the big EVENT - the after school DANCE (can you BOOGIE?), and Friday you get to sleep in and get ready for the long weekend!

Make sure you have your books logged so you get full points!

A big congrats to Allison on her trip to State Chorus - we can't wait to hear about that!

We will also introduce a new writing contest on Monday- It is about MLK and the winner gets to fly to Atlanta (that's in Georgia) and spend the day touring MLK's memorial, house, and other fine contributions to our society. We will assist you anyway we can this time-- because we want winners not Chicken Dinners!

We were finally able to hang-up some of our "Louisville Loot" this weekend! We are ready for basketball! Go CARDS!
