It's been so much fun watching you, as authors, sharing stories from your lives. You've done a great job supporting each other through the revision and editing of your drafts. Be sure to bring in your printed, pretty, ready-to-go copies on Monday, and be sure to read through them out loud at home so you're ready to share with the whole class in our Memoir Publication Celebration!! 
Be sure to finish chapter six of The Pigman tonight. You'll have a five-question reading quiz on chapters 4-6 tomorrow.
Remember that your independent reading books need to be finished on Wednesday, 5/18. Be ready for written assessment, group discussion, and some electronic interaction!
Well, it's that time of year again! The seventh grade NY State ELA exam will be administered this Wednesday and Thursday from 7:35-9:50AM. Please be sure to get to school on time, dearest ones!! 
Remember that your exam review packets must be signed and make sure you get good sleep and eat a healthy breakfast! And – most importantly – try not to be nervous. You are prepared. Review your materials, approach the test well-rested and nourished, give it your honest best effort, and you'll be fine. Really and truly.
-Ms. Coronesi
Your subject/verb agreement packets are due tomorrow! I know that last maze is tough, but be sure to give it your best shot.
Remember to study your fifteen words from section four of The Giver for the vocabulary quiz on Friday. (luxuriate-uneasy) Try making index cards to help you study, or even creating a quizlet!
Remember that your extra credit options for quarter three are due no later than Wednesday, 4/6. Absolutely no exceptions can be made!! Have fun and put in your best effort.
Study your fifteen words for Monday's vocabulary quiz. Remember to use the sentences that we came up with in class today, and make sure you know the parts of speech!
The edited, revised typed copy of your epilogue is due this Friday, 4/1/11. Nice work in class today!!!
Make sure that your groups are ready to perform on Wednesday! Remember that your scenes need to be at least three minutes long, they need to have ten vocabulary words from chapters 11-19 of The Giver, you should have some sort of props/costumes, and they should be as rehearsed/memorized as possible. You will also need to hand in a formal script as part of your assessment. Have fun!!
