Tuesday, January 20th

As usual, we completed our daily grammar.  Then I passed out homework.  It's just one sheet; however, it's still due on Thursday.  We continued discuss the literary elements and real world connections in Messenger.  If we continue at this pace, we will be done with the book by the end of this term and we'll be able to begin the final book in the series, Son.

During social studies we watched two short videos about the Harlem Renaissance.  Students finished the BrainPop worksheet with the first video and then they took notes on the second video in their notebooks.  We concluded our time together by discussing an excerpt from Charlotte Perkins Gilman's book, Women & Economics.

Lastly, there are many forms, including the report cards, being sent home today.  Please remember to check your child's red folder.
