WEEKLY WORK

Math Notebooks will be due on Thursday this week.
Language
Students will continue our class-wide novel study on the true story “A Stranger at Home” written by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton. This is the sequel to “fatty legs”. The reading strategies we are going to be using in this novel study include: connecting, visualizing, questioning, inferring, and transforming.
This week we will read chapters 7 and 8. Students are responsible for chapter 7 and 8 questions and work.
Culture
(as seen in the previous blog post and email)
Students in Division 3 have been working for the past 3 weeks on their learning fair projects. They have had multiple afternoons as well as work cycle and library time every week to research, take notes and formulate paragraphs.
Please check-in with your child regarding their learning fair project as soon as possible.
Students are asked to bring their typed paragraphs (printed or on a USB stick), artwork, photos, visuals, and large titles for Tuesday May 22nd. We will be putting the project boards together in class next week.
The Learning Fair May 24th 6:00-7:45pm, May 25th 9:15-11:00am
