On Thursday, April 13th there will be a quiz over the story and vocabulary from chapters 5-8. The link above will take you to quizlet to study vocabulary. IF YOU MISS SCHOOL YOU WILL HAVE TO CATCH UP ON THE READING ON YOUR OWN TIME. YOU WILL NEED TO CHECK A BOOK OUT FROM ME BEFORE OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER AN ABSENCE. SUPER AWESOME NEWS! The last book report has been canceled!The library has been closed for the last week and will be again for the next few. Not having access to the library has us behind in working toward the April book report. I have decided to make the April book report an extra credit assignment both to reward those who worked ahead and have already completed it and to give others the opportunity to help their average. It is still due April 27th.
The test went REALLY well on Monday!!!! I am proud of how hard everyone worked! GREAT JOB! We will be starting a novel unit on Wednesday, April 5th. We will be reading The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. It is so very important to be present everyday at school or you will not know what's happening in the story! If you do need to be gone be sure to check a book out from me and catch up on the reading!!! PLEASE DO NOT GOOGLE THE STORY!!!! YOU WILL RUIN THE WHOLE THING FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR CLASSMATES IF YOU KNOW TOO MUCH! The joy is in the suspense and in figuring things out as events unfold in the book. There will be a vocabulary test over chapter 1-8 vocabulary next week the list is available on quizlet now.
