Hi Students,

Today, we begin a new card marking period and the final one of the semester! Let’s stay focused on our studies and do our best to finish strong!

In literature, we’ll finish out our unit on Traditions and Cultures and then begin a new theme next week.

In grammar, we’re continuing with parts of speech. Next up is the adjective, which is used to describe nouns.

In the 6+1 Writing Traits, we’re wrapping up Organization and moving on to Conventions.

So much to learn! So little time! 🙂

Hey Students,

We have a short week! Be sure to read at home every night! Enjoy your Thanksgiving break from Wed.-Sun. I am thankful for YOU! 🙂
