Happy New Year!!
Here's our focus for Jan. 7-10, 2014
Reading Workshop- Figurative Language (Test Friday) Students have a organizer we are filling in and should be used as a study guide.
Writing Workshop- Evidence Based Writing (Test preparation writing)
Wordstudy Workshop- Review of Units 5-8
**We will also review chapters 1-11 of our novel "Walk Two Moons" and continue the study next week.
** I have also discussed grades with students, if they are low or have dropped, these students will need to complete the Christmas Break Points Assignment listed on my page. This will give students the opportunity to earn points toward their final grade. Because I shared this assignment before the Christmas break began, it is due Wed. Jan. 8, 2014.
