Tuesday
Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. We had a rousing wrap up to our reading of Roald Dahl's The BFG today. The kids enjoyed the story greatly, and we accomplished a great deal of language / literature study around the novel. The kids have been working diligently to complete the packet of materials that work in conjunction with the book, but a few of them still have a few chapters of content to complete. So while a good third of the class was able to submit their packets today, the balance of the students have until Friday to submit their work. I will be expecting fully completed work on Friday and have told the kids as much. There will not be an opportunity for make up work with this literature study, as we are delving into the next two books on Wednesday.
The fourth grade will begin their study of the Gold Rush with By the Great Horn Spoon! and the fifth grade will begin their study of the Revolutionary War with My Brother Sam is Dead.
***The content of My Brother Sam is Dead is controversial, especially in its use of language to describe ethnic groups. I spoke with the fifth graders today regarding the language content and its usage in society. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to drop me a line.***
The kids are responsible for the following tonight:
Fourth-
- Saxon 70
- BFG packets
- Nature Log due tomorrow
Fifth-
- Saxon 70
- BFG packets
- Nature Log due tomorrow
- Elements & Compound vocabulary
