Hey guys! Today went really well =)

For homework, please make sure that you are finishing up the worksheet we started in class. I will ask for it at the beginning of class tomorrow. I sent out a Remind101 message; I hope all of you got it-- if you have not signed up for it, here are the instructions.

I'm going to try my hardest to keep you guys up to date with what's going on in class. I'll post documents on the blog as well so that you can see what's going on. I'm still deciding on if we are going to use Google Classroom or not... but I'll get with you on that in a few days. 

Any questions??? Email me! mllong@greenville.k12.sc.us. 

Oh, and If you download the Remind101 app, you can start a chat on there. I have it on my phone, and that's also a great communication tool. For more information on that, look here.

Stems Links

We are doing stems differently this year. Stems lists 21-30 are a great review for lists 1-20. Your 8th grade English teachers have gone through and found the stems that help make up your words for lists 21-30. Each list will have up to 50 stems in it that you have ALREADY learned in the years you have been at HMS. If you were not here, it is okay, because you will get a chance to see how these words help make other words! (Isn't English exciting?!?!)

Below is a link to the old stems that will be with each list of new stem words for lists 21-30. Use the link below to help you with the lists this year. We will run a schedule, which you will write in your agendas, and will finish your ten required stems lists at the end of the first semester. Get ready!
