O'Reading - Journeys Unit
We will continue our study of the novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Students have written many responses to this novel, and I am pleased to see the improvement in their writing as we progress. We will also take a look at the poem The Falling Star, and discuss the similarity in theme between the two texts.
O'English - Verbs
The verb tense paragraph project is due on Tuesday, 3/17. Chapter 3 will end with a look at irregular verbs, the special verb "be", and contractions that use the word not. The verbs TEST is scheduled for Friday, 3/20. Students should prepare for the test by studying the verbs packet (in English folder), workbook pages and text pages 95-134. The extra practice on pages 125-134 are particularly helpful for test preparation.

Students will begin a technology project for the Midwest Region. They will research a state in the Midwest, and create a slide presentation to create a "Just Look" book. Look for the project description sheet to come home on 3/16.
