Homework due Tomorrow: Students should bring in the work they did on their literature circle assignments, and be ready to discuss the 1st chapter of Island of the Blue Dolphins.
Ongoing Homework: Students should remember to read for thirty minutes each evening. Reading the assigned novel does count towards the nightly reading. Remember there are no restrictions on what you choose to read, as long as you make sure you get your assigned reading done. Please remember to record the date, the title of what you read, and how many pages you read on your Reading Journal entry form. Please turn in your entry forms on Friday, so that I can review how your reading is going. I will return them to you on Monday. I would encourage you to keep up with your reading over the weekend.
In language arts the students showed me the words they had chosen for their weekly word studies. We also went over the procedure for doing their spelling homework. This procedure can be found in their writing handbooks, and in this spelling procedure link.
During writing workshop, the students were absorbed in working on the first drafts of their personal memoirs.
