Week 1 Admission Ticket

Here we go! How exciting to post our first Admission Ticket challenge for the 2009-2010 Essentials year! Each student who correctly answers the challenge will receive one ticket toward our Samaritan's Purse Christmas gift.

To gain admittance to class for Week 1, students should look up the extremely common word very and come to class prepared to 1) identify its part of speech and 2) name at least four synonyms that could replace very in a sentence.

I will post myself outside the classroom (sanctuary) door at 12:55 p.m. in order to begin admitting students! I can't wait to see their smiling faces!
Greetings, Essentials families! Welcome to our class' communication blog for 2009-2010!

Four days and counting til we begin! Our student resource notebooks are ready, IEW style charts are copied, and I found a suitcase large enough to house my overhead projector. (It even has wheels - hallelujah!)

I'm anticipating the first day of learning with your precious children. Please remember to pack their EEL resource notebooks and, for IEW, a three-ring binder with pockets. I'll bring the rest.

Pertinent Week 1 information will post Tuesday afternoon. Don't forget to enter your email address to register for the blog. Then you'll automatically receive new posts in your inbox.

Questions? Let me know.

See you Tuesday at 1 p.m.,
Erin
