What a great book....we just finished. Students have been taking notes, recording their reactions, stating the theme and explaining several interesting words for each chapter. This constitutes their Edward Tulane Study Guide. We will be preparing everyone for a final assessment to be done on Thursday.
This week and next we will concentrate on polishing up and publishing their personal narratives. We will also take up some more poetry writing ahead of next month's Poetry in the Park event.
We all have reading partners and will have more time to read and converse about the selected books.
Math unit 4 on decimals is well under way. Students found lots of examples of decimals all around them.
Soon we will begin our study of the Massachusetts colony. Just in time for Thanksgiving we'll be up on the Pilgrims and puritans.
Friday is Fall Festival. So plan to witness the parade first thing and sign your child out by ten for all the fun.
"The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is being committed to memory this week and next. This week for homework it's the stanza beginning with: " Then he said..." and ends with " ....marching down to their boats on the shore." Please help.
Michael will probably share with you, that Mommy couldn't finish reading aloud last night because she was crying at the end of the story! I loved this book. It's on my list of favorites for sure!!
