Language Arts classes:

If you did not finish your "Figurative Language Worksheet #2" then you will finish it as homework.

Per. 7/8 received additional homework as punishment for their behavior on Thursday and Friday (so talkative and disruptive that we were not able to get to this grammar sheet).

We discussed the definition of the word "connotation" and how connotation affects figurative language in different cultures.

All language arts classes will be taking their ELA 7th Grade Assessment throughout these days.


No classwork and no homework.
