We are at the mid-point of the third nine weeks. You should have seen a progress report come home on Tuesday. If your student had a low grade (D or F) I sent an updated report on Friday with detailed assignments that were missing that would bring up their grade when completed.
Reading
This week we will focus on the genre characteristics of a Play. We will read a couple of plays throughout the week to give students practice reading them aloud and reading them independently. Look for vocabulary words to study and questions to answer at the end of the play, The Case of the Runaway Appetite page 460 in the reading textbook.
Writing
Students are working through the writing process by publishing their own book through a publishing company. All steps can be worked on at home except the actual kit. That must be completed in class. Ask your child what they are writing their book about.
There will not be a spelling list this week.
