Monday, March 7th

This week students will begin the writing process for this term's summative essay.  We are also continuing our literary analysis of Messenger.  During social studies we are continuing to learn about WWII and we are visiting the Breman Museum on Wednesday.  Today we read My Secret Camera and students watched the Holocaust BrainPop video.  Tomorrow we will begin discussing how Germany and Japan began invading other nations.

As a reminder, students should read their personal books for a minimum of 30 minutes daily.  A little over a month ago I began doing check-ins several times a week to see how students are progressing.  Some students have not been completing their reading, and it shows.  Those students are not growing as readers and they're at risk for falling behind.  Please provide a time and place for your child to read EVERY DAY.  It's the best way for them to independently practice the comprehension skills we work on daily.
