Wednesday, April 3rd

ELA - We finished and discussed Messenger.  We spent some time discussing the theme of fear and the role it played in all three books.  Next term students are going to complete a project that ties together their understanding of all three books and I'm going to read the 4th book, Son, aloud at the end of each day.  Following our discussion students began writing their Memoirs.  Many completed their rough drafts in class and they were advised to work on them at home. The final drafts are due on Friday.

Math - Students from yesterday's extension group worked on compass and students who needed extra help with this term's content worked in a small group with me.  The math assessment is tomorrow.

MAP testing is complete and the score reports will go home with the report cards next term.  Overall, most students did well.  

Supply Announcement

I had a plentiful paper supply and we recently discovered that we no longer had any more lined paper. Either we somehow used all of the paper or someone took the packs of paper from the two different storage locations in class.  

Regardless of how or why the paper disappeared, we need more paper.  If parents could send in a few packs (college rule or wide rule is fine), we would be greatly appreciative.

Thank You.
