This Week: Feb 11th - Feb 15th
This week brings us the exciting and wonderful world of legends, book jackets, Canada maps and OAKS (in Reading, not Core)! Woo-hoo (I bet you can hardly contain your excitement)
Language Arts: Legends are due on Thursday (typed final draft quality), as is the legend book jacket. We'll be typing legends Monday through Thursday in the library...please bring a SSR book every day to class (to read if you finish). We'll have grammar day on Wednesday, fun writing on Friday and silent reading sprinkled along the way.
Social Studies: Our Canadian quest continues. We'll make time lines, and start our Canada group projects by the end of the week. We'll have at least two Canada map quizzes so study study study!
Web site update: I am currently experiencing difficulties with my Adobe Acrobat PDF maker, and therefor the calendar on the main web page has not been updated in quite some time. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please check these weekly blog posts for class calendar and events until I sort out the web page calendar. Questions? leave a comment or shoot me an email!
