The Week in Review
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
