2/21-2/25

We are coming to the end of yet another six weeks. As grades are due this week, please encourage your student to have his/ her assignments in on time and done to the best of his/ her ability. Students presented book reports this past week and I was quite impressed with the caliber of creativity that I saw presented in the classroom. You have much to be proud of; your students are talented!

Here's what we have going on this week:

Monday-

Black History Month projects are due (Language Arts test grade)

We will be watching the movie "Miracle at Midnight" to compare and contrast it to the novel that we just finished.

Tuesday- movie

Wednesday- "Number the Stars" final test; a section will be devoted to comparing/ contrasting the movie to the book (Reading test grade)

Thursday- reading activity from the Literature textbook; due at the end of class

Friday- TAKS focus- drawing conclusions; making generalizations

As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I am happy to help in any way that I can.
