Language Art
Students are starting with Language 8.2 this is recognizing and correcting any improper use of capitalization, punctuation, especially commas, ellipses, and dashes, and even spelling.
We will be doing proofreading marks with sentences and practicing them as the starters, we will also work with actual writing of own papers and have the students proofread each others to fix any mistakes. We will be doing this work for about one week.
Art 1
Students started color wheel with tints. This will be touching on the following elements and principles of art.
Elements are: Line, shape, forms, color, and value
Principles of Design are: Rhythm, Harmony, and Balance
Students will be designing a color wheel using 24 sections of color and not just the normal 12. They will need to set up a pattern and continue this pattern throughout the whole of the assignment. They will be given specific guidelines that will help them to be successful. They will be using a ruler, for measuring and using craftsmanship for painting. Additional information will be given upon notice.
I will be introducing the mid-term project sometime in the next week or two. The information is found already within the blog.
Foundation 2
Students for the next few days will be doing a step-by-step projects, these help the students break down an object and simplify it for the start of any project. This process helps with larger projects to help with starting and finishing. We will then move onto, scale and proportion, upside down and texture, these help the student with enlarging and simplifying then adding a texture of various items to a composition. Some projects will only take a short amount of time such as one class period while others will take a couple of days. If questions need to be asked please do so.

Parents make sure they are completing these You as parents will be critiquing their work and this form will be sent home on Monday the 10th for you to be able to be thinking of what to say.

Language Arts Fourth and Fifth
Students have the summation of RL8.5 on Tuesday. This is the text structure of a sentence. They parts they will need to know are compare and contrast, narrative plot, problem/ solution, cause and effect, chronological/ sequential, students have worked very hard to learn the differences if they are absent they will have a bit harder time unless they study.
We will be focusing the last on Narrative plot, and breaking it down to the essentials, We will have a quiz on this but should not overly hurt the grade because of the end coming up so quickly.

November 3-7
Language Arts
Monday students went into the lab and tried out a new writing program. It is called Utah Compose. This takes over the My Access that we have used the past years. It will help students write and keep track of papers for all classes. I had my students to into the lessons and work on just seeing how to manipulate the programs that each lesson was given. I hope to use this with my writing prompts for all students to better their writings. It will score their work as well as help them with what needs work.
Tuesday students will be taking their summation on Figurative Language the second half of the words. They will also be taking a vocabulary test on the definitions.
We will then be starting on either verb and verbals and all they have. This will bring in active and passive verbs and with verbals gerunds, participles and infinitives.
We will continue to work on creative narratives for the starters as well as any new vocabulary that comes up with the new terms.
Art 1
Students critiqued their engravings. This assignment was due Monday. Wednesday students will critique their masks this is an assignment that took a bit of time and we have just filled in here and there. Monday students were introduced to Zen tangle. This is a creative outlet that is like a glorified doodling. Students have specific requirements but have a large assignment of being creative.
Students should be on the downward spiral of finishing their FINALS. Remember they are due on the 19th no later or they loose 1/2 points. We will be finishing up with Origami this is paper folding. We only get the very basic and get some students really involved with bringing out this talent.
Foundation 2
Students were to have their final projects here Monday to work on. All students should have a final at this point. We will have a review of all the test notes before the final test is given.

We will be introducing the students to the final projects they are Fantasy. Each demonstrate different ask-pecks in the fantasy section. FINALS are due November 19th late work will loose 1/2 points.
