Reading Update

Third Grade Third graders finished reading The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh. They need to do a 4 sentence paragraph that is a text to self, text, or world connection. They will also need to start thinking about a project to demonstrate their comprehension. Fourth Grade Students began reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Their homework is to read to chapter 9, page 88. They are to make a list of unfamiliar vocabulary as they read and make an illustration of an incident during the first 88 pages that they'd like to share with the class. Fifth Grade Fifth grade students will present the Trial of the Big Bad wolf next week. Each student should be refining their testimony. We will be presenting this next week during class time, 9:30-11:00 on Thursday 5-6. If there is a parent who is a judge or an attorney and would like to be the judge in our trial, it would be great to have a knowledgeable person in this role.
