ATTN: all English students-

Don't forget that all of your reading pages are due on Wednesday, January 13th. Please read over the break if you are behind in the number of pages you need to read.

When we return on Jan. 4 - we will wrap up the Tall Tale unit by writing a tall tale. We will share the most creative stories. Before the term ends, all classes will be working on writing process and improving word choice and sentence fluency.

The term ends on Jan. 15th.

Students began a Tall-tale/legend unit this week which will take us to the Christmas break. We have been introduced to different types of legends, tall tales, and cultures. The students will be reading a variety of stories and will eventually write a tall tale.

Upcoming events before the break:

Dec. 9th - Spelling quiz #6
Dec. 14-16 - Cultural presentations by the students. Each student will present to the class a story, tradition, or food that is part of his/her culture. Students will refer to their pedigree chart to find their heritage and talk to families about traditions that they celebrate.

Dec. 15 - A book mark or timeline will be turned in on a book that was read.

Dec. 16 - Spelling quiz #7

Dec. 18 - out for break until Jan. 4th
