Late Arrival / Reading Day

Good evening!

     Remember that Wednesday is a two-hour delay (one of only two we have left, since we axed the rest to make up for storm days) for students, not staff. Classes will be shortened, but all after-school activities should continue as usual.

     Students in Clan Barclay will be reading all period in Language Arts; make sure you bring your books!

     Also, if anyone needs a refresher on figurative language, here is a video I posted for the class this week. Another, relating to rhyme, is below.

Regards,
Mr. DeMaris

A Pun

Hello All,

     Welcome back from vacation! We are starting right off with poetry, but I thought a little pun would make a great appetizer.

There's a hare in my food!

     This week, we discuss what makes a poem into poetry and learn the basic terms we need to dive deeper into poem analysis and writing. It should be fun!*

Sincerely,
Mr. DeMaris


*Well, for those of us who like English….
