Weekly Update June 3

Welcome Summer!


ELA—Two Reader Responses for June are due June 17. Students presented, handed in, and peer evaluated their Poetry Anthologies. They have been assessed and returned to students. The students have started reading either Old Yeller or Firegirl and will be working in Literature Circles to complete the novel including novel questions and a final project. A permission slip will be coming home in the next couple of weeks for our last unit which is cross curricular dealing with Sex Education.
