Because of some complications with SAGE testing (long story short, many tests had to be partially redone and resubmitted), I am giving students all day Tuesday in class to finish their ACES essay. We will then launch into a Literature Unit where we will study both literature, poetry and informational text as we learn about author's purpose, do quick-writes and tackle word study (prefix/suffix/root words). This will be a rigorous, but fun unit!
Remember to do your daily reading at home (a half hour a day for each school day) so you can stay caught-up on iRead books. I'm excited to see those book numbers rise. We'll be having a lot of students join the 40 club soon!
Big congrats to Shaylee Johnson! She was accepted for publication into Creative Communication's books for a beautiful poem she wrote. Way to go Shaylee:)
I so appreciate the ongoing support. As always, please email me with any questions or concerns. Enjoy the three-day weekend!
