Week of September 6

I hope you are all having a wonderful 3 day weekend! I spent a couple days in Boone and enjoyed a great day on the river.
This week in Language Arts:
No spelling/vocabulary words this week! I will never give words on a short week. If your student scored less than a 73 last week on the spelling test, I am asking parents to sign the test and return it to school. I am not completely convinced all students are sharing their test results with parents. We also enjoyed a pop quiz... although I did give many hints it was coming...on the tall tale unit we worked on last week in class. If your student was absent on Friday, please have them see me to make up work asap. They only have this week to make up last week's work.
We will finish our metaphor and collage poem in class this week. Many of them are really terrific. I will share a few next week on the blog.
This week, we will be reading fairy tales and dissecting their structure. We will also write our very own over the next couple of weeks. We will work on some vocabulary exercises in class, since we don't have a test on Friday.
We begin novel study in the next few weeks.Each class will be reading a different novel. More to come on that!
