This week classes started on a new novel and learned the elements of a novel. The students will be reading these books for about 2 1/2 weeks. Each day in class they have the chance to discuss the book and read. Periodically, there will be pop quizzes, so your students should be caught up on their reading.
1st - novel groups - ask what book your student has
2nd - novel groups - ask what the group novel is
3rd - All students are reading DOWNRIVER by Will Hobbs
4th - All students are reading SNIPER by Theodore Taylor
5th - All students are reading ROLL OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CRY by Mildred Taylor
7th - novel groups - ask what book your student has
If you have questions, contact me at the school. We should be finished with the books about March 15th.
