Writing Tricks & New Novel

Language Arts
Next week, students will learn about Smiley Face Tricks, which are tools that they can use to add some personality to their writing.

Reading
Taking Sides by Gary Soto is our first novel of the year. Do adults always know what is best? Is living in the suburbs safer than living in the city? Is being loyal to your friends more important than honesty? These and others we'll be discussed as we read about Lincoln Mendoza.
