This is Mrs. Georges last week with the 6th graders. She has done a wonderful job covering my maternity leave. We wish her well and thank her for joining us this year!
While I’ve been gone, my son, who is now almost 4 months old, amazes us each day at the new things he discovers and learns!
I’ll be back in the classroom on Monday and look forward to seeing the students and fellow teachers again!
What’s on the agenda for next week?
Language Arts
We’ll finish up the unit on prepositions in language arts.
*Review - Thurs, 4/14
*Test - Fri, 4/15
Reading
Students received their book assignment this week. The collection of books was chosen to highlight characters that are considered different by others. Each of them will participate in a literature circle. Active participation is crucial to the success of the groups and their enjoyment too!
The literature circle unit involves:
*Reading both independently and with the group
*Being an ACTIVE participant in the group by:
1) Keeping up with the assigned readings
2) Responding to them by completing “Bookmarks” & literature responses on time
3) Taking on specific literature roles & duties
*Completing the final Mosaic project
Due Dates – Check the information included on the handout regularly to keep up with each assignment.
*Bookmark #1 due Fri, 4/8
See you in class!
