More beautiful weather this weekend!  I hope that everyone is spending some time outside!

The following homework was assigned on Friday:

Students need to read for at least once over the weekend and record their reading on their reading log.
Reading logs will be checked on Monday.

There will be an oceans and continents map quiz on Tuesday.  A practice sheet went home.  Students do not need to pass in the practice sheet.

A reading "Parent Share" went home on Friday.  Students should read out loud the excerpt from Because of Winn-Dixie to an adult at home.  They should then discuss the questions with an adult that refer to the excerpt.  They need to jot down some notes based on their discussion.  This is due on Tuesday.  I am hoping to involve parents with some of the discussions that we are having in class.  In addition we know that if students talk about what they read, it improves their ability to write about what they read as well.

A Time For Kids packet went home on Friday.  Students should read the Time For Kids and complete the multiple choice reading quiz.  In addition there is a writing assignment requiring them to fill in a planning sheet and write at least a paragraph in response to a question about one of the articles.
This is due on Thursday.  I would like the TFK, reading quiz, planning sheet and paragraph stapled or paper clipped together.
