English homework

Hello to all grade 7 & 8 students. I want to remind you that your typed rough draft report due date has been moved to Friday. However, this does not mean that you can't turn it in earlier. Although this gives you more time to write this week, it also means that you will receive your rough drafts back after break and will need to revisit the report again to make changes. Turning it in before Friday ensures an opportunity to make changes before vacation, putting the assignment to rest.

I also want to remind students to practice spelling words for a quiz on Thursday, and to review the vocabulary, making sure you know the meanings of the 10 words.

I will take the vocabulary written in composition books any day this week, however, the official due date is Thursday for all vocab assignments.
