What's happening in class?

The week of January 17th through January 20th will be a short but busy one!

In L.A., we will continue focusing on writing.  Students will be doing article writing.  They will be creatively  incorporating the 5 W's (what, who, when, where and why) into news articles based on well-known nursery rhymes.

In reading, students will be getting back their chapter 9-16 quiz in The Cay.  They did awesomely well on it!  They did an excellent job with vocabulary, and on using text information to support discussion questions, especially those connected to showing Phillip's emotional growth and the ways Timothy helped Phillip during their time together.  This week, we will finish the novel, and students will begin their final project centered on their understanding of The Cay. 

Students will have a choice between creating a DIORAMA, DRAWING AN ISLAND MAP, DOING RESEARCH ON GIVEN TOPICS CONNECTED TO THE NOVEL, OR CREATING A SURVIVAL KIT FOR SURVIVAL AFTER A HURRICANE.

Here's to a good week!
