This week we will continue to fine tune our haiku, learn some background for the novel "Out of the Dust" about the great depression and the 1930's. We will have vocabulary this week and a test on Friday. Reading homework resumes and is due daily for all students. Thursday evening students are expected to practice for the test on Friday and therefore, no reading summary is due on Friday.
In addition, we will begin writing our research paper about the weather or earth system we have chosen. I have reserved the Ipads for Wednesday and Thursday so we can complete all research. There will be no other time given for research in class. Students will be expected to have 3 topic questions on their subject prepared before Wed. to begin researching.
Last week, students turned in a final draft of their Florence stories, their book reports and projects and a couple Haiku. I will be grading and returning these things this week. If your student did not turn in a draft to be edited of their Florence story before the Christmas break, they will be docked a minimum of 2 points (out of 32).
