Hello,

I apologize for not having updated in a while, I had to leave town unexpectedly and then was sick all weekend 🙁

We are in our 5th week of Unit 2 in Wonders.  Next week we will be taking the Unit 2 test.  Please help your child study all of the unit 2 vocabulary words and their unit 2 grammar packets as both of these will be tested next week.

For this quarter our class is reading a myth book.  Many of these books aren’t very long, but they are sometimes difficult to follow.  For our project this quarter, we will be giving a book talk.  I am currently having packets made for the students so they know their expectations.  I will try to upload a copy of the requirements onto this website although I have tried that before, and it didn’t work for me.  If it doesn’t upload, I will at least let you know when I give the packets to the students.  As the students finish their books and packets, they can set up a time with me to present to the class.  The last day for presentations will be December 12.

Our class will be starting research this week as well.  We will spend time in the library on Thursday and Friday learning how to find/evaluate resources and choose our topics.  It will take us most of the rest of the quarter to complete this paper.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
