The Week in Review

Dated: 6 Sep 2009
Posted by kfausto

Hey Everyone!

This week went by quickly with all the excitement of the on-coming storm.  

4th Monarca  – learned all about animals and their young. We compared how animals and humans are the same when taking care of their young. We made a note of how most animal babies have different names from their parents.

5th Grade - finished reading their story Everybody Wins and completed a classroom task about the story events. We also made a note of the fact that the main character’s  attitude changes during the story making her a dynamic character.

6th Grade – learned new vocabulary words and read the story Jewel in the Sand. We noticed that their were a lot of concepts in this story that related to the non-fiction article Nomads.

7th  Monarca – completed the selection Chasing Vermeer. We made a list of non-fiction people mentioned in the story.  Most students voiced their dissatisfaction at how the story ended.  Well remember that our book only offers a chapter of the story, but if you want to know what happened you can order the book on amazon.com.

ALL GRADES will have a test on Tuesday September 15.  Skills and concepts to be covered will be discussed in class.

Well, that’s our week in review.  Have a great weekend and remember to answer this week’s writing prompt.

Take care,

Mrs. Fausto

    Hey Mrs. Fausto:
    I wanted to ask, what can we bring for the show and tell?
    ex: a book, like Petra.

    Anything you consider a work of art (as long as you can carry it and it isn’t expensive).
