Reading Update

Third Grade Third graders began reading The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh. They met only once this week due to a 3rd grade field trip. Their home work is to read chapter 1. Fourth Grade Students began reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Their homework is to read to chapter 5, page 53. They are to make a list of unfamiliar vocabulary as they read. Fifth Grade Fifth grade students began an activity called On Trial, which is a mock trial of the Big Bad Wolf and the murder of 2 of the three little pigs. Each student should be practicing their part. We will do a dress rehearsal next week. If there is a parent who is a judge or an attorney and would like to be the judge in our trial, please let me know.
