Starting tomorrow, November 6, we will take a two week break from our literature and grammar books to write our career essays in class.  Using the information we gathered from the COPS survey, we identified your interest area, and you are responsible to choose at least one career from that area.
In the computer lab, we will gather information and write our rough drafts.
Bring a flash drive to save your information each day.  The majority of the work will be done in class, so lighten your load keep your Interactive Reader at home until November 16.

Canyon Hills will hold its annual Spelling Bee on December 15 and 16.  All students will be tested on 20 words from the list, and the highest scoring students will compete against the other Language Arts classrooms in order to represent Canyon Hills at the district, county, state, and, hopefully, the national level.  Click on the file below to view and study the words.

This year you will have a chance to not only enhance your understanding of American Literature, but to also focus on your future plans, and, more importantly, how to turn them into reality.  This promises to be a great year!
