Week #14: Fun with Informational Text

It's been another great week in Language Arts as we wrapped up our class novels, film and final essay. I'm so proud of students for stretching themselves, making connections and being game to really focus on literature and their writing: well done!
Here is what's on the docket for this week. We will be doing CFA #3 where students need to demonstrate they can compose a solid, well-written paragraph. Please check grades and let me know how I can assist.
We also had our first Winning Team celebration this week. Props to the hardworking teams who really worked well together, earned the most points and won a party of their choice. I love rewarding students who really work hard--see pictures below. 
Keep reading at home at least 20-30 minutes a night for at least 5 days a week.
Thanks and have a wonderful week!
