October 2016
Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents/Guardians.
This month we have started studying The Crucible by Arthur Miller. We have spent considerable time learning about Essential Questions and how they guide us with our understanding of the text we are reading. We have spent time reading and discussing characters as well as major themes and motifs.
You should have received an email from me on September 30th informing you of your child's progress in my class. Midterm report cards will be sent home on November 14th 2016 and Parent Teacher interviews will be conducted on November 17th in the High School.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions, concerns or feedback.
