Welcome Seagulls!!!!  

   My language arts students have been very busy learning literary terms, words from the Wordskill book, reading narratives, and writing in their journals. They  have just finished reading the short story, Lob's Girl. Students will be writing a newspaper article about this story. We are focusing on the literary element cause and effect as we read this story.

  We are now into Lesson 3 of our Wordskill words. Students are learning many new words. Students should make flash cards to review these words. Students should study all their words nightly for five to ten minutes. Our next vocabulary test will be November  They should study lesson 3 and review lessons 1 and 2.

 Students have a Reading Log due every Thursday. They should read 100 minutes a week and get a parent signature. As your child reads, ask them about the characters, setting and plot(sequence of events) of the story.  

Here are a few books you might want to read :

Tuck Everlasting

Number the Stars

The Egypt Game

The Giver

Helen Keller The Story of My Life

The Upstairs Room

Bridge To Terabithia

Marley A Dog Like No Other

There will be no school on Friday, October 30th.
