Week of September 5th

This week students have a summative essay and I'm assessing them on their analysis of theme.  The assessment will take place over three days and on Friday we will have our library day.  

I'm taking applications this week for my book club.  Students who are part of my book club will meet on Fridays during lunch to discuss and analyze a higher level text.  If your child is interested, please encourage them to apply.

Homework 

Read for 30+ minutes daily

Complete the vocabulary homework (the homework is shorter this week due to the holiday)

Exploring one's identity/character and actions allows one to participate, empathize and be a contributing member of a community.

Learning Targets:

I can identify the themes within a literary text.
