Key Hunters: Final Assessment

We will not have a test over Key Hunters. Instead, students were given a packet to complete that will require them to use specific reading comprehension skills like story elements, sequencing, and cause/effect. It is not class work and should be completed at home. It is open book, so I encouraged your child use the book when working on the packet.

The packet is due Friday, Dec. 9.

Donation Reminder

Beta Club will be collecting gently used and new clothes for elementary school aged children in the Philippines. Their climate is mild so only clothes appropriate for this type of weather can be sent. Father Dexter will be traveling to the Philippines December 26th to deliver these clothes to the children. Please thoughtfully consider donating some clothes to this most worthy cause. Clothing donations will be collected the week of November 28th through December 2nd.

20th Anniversary Mardi Gras Masquerade

Linking Verbs

Linking Verbs DO NOT show action. Linking verbs connect the subject and the predicate (think of it like a bridge).
Check out the examples below:

Gabby is a sweet girl.

Isn’t isn’t something that Gabby can do. It connects the subject (Gabby) to the predicate (is a sweet girl.)

My cats are happy napping on the couch.

Areing isn’t something that cats can do. Are connects the subject (My cats) to the predicate (are happy napping on the couch). 

She seems to be a happy girl.

Seems isn’t something that she can do. Seems connect the subject (she) to the predicate (seems to be a happy girl.)

The following verbs are true linking verbs: any form of the infinitive TO BE (am, is was, were, has been, are being, might have been, etc) become, and seem.

We're published authors!

The Most Amazing and Inspiring Athletes is here!  I'm very proud of all their hard work, from choosing the genre and topic to research, writing the first draft, editing, rewriting, and illustrating to their finished product!
They students brainstormed title names and voted on the one they liked best. They also each drew a cover and voted on their favorite. Congratulations to Addie Manning, whose illustration was chosen for the cover of the book. 
We had a reception and each student sat in the author's chair and read his/her passage to the class.
The students will also be donating a copy to the SAS library for anyone to check out so that everyone can learn more about world-class athletes in archery, BMX racing, bull riding, and more!
