My dog, Lexy, was ready for the snow this weekend!
The last week of January will be a busy, interesting one!
In language arts, students will continue working on news articles, pulling the who, what, when, where, and why out of written material. They will be choosing one of the short stories we've read in the past, pulling out the 5 w's and creating a news story with an accompanying picture.
In reading, students are in the process of working on their final projects for The Cay. They chose between 4 options, all including a written aspect. The 1st option is designing a diarama of a significant scene from the novel, the 2nd option is drawing and labeling an island map of the cay, including all major aspects of the cay as they were described in the novel. The 3rd option is researching connecting themes from the novel such as hurricanes, blindness, etc. and the 4th option is creating a survival kit for a midwestern tornado. Projects are due, and some will be presented on Friday, January 27th!
***AR book quizzes are due on or before Wednesday, January 25th.
