After a round of Daily 5, we had a small group discussion about our Article of the Week questions and compared our responses to the correct answers. We then finished our Folktale project presentations for the rest of class. The presentations turned out really great, I encourage you to ask your student to show their PowerPoint to you, it’s located in their school Google Drive!

Have a great weekend!

Upcoming Field Trip

Students were sent home with a permission slip this week to go on a field trip to see Beauty and the Beast on May 12th with the entire 6th grade, followed by lunch at the Fairlane Mall food court. This field trip is part of our language arts folktales curriculum and a written response will be collected as a summative grade once we return. Any student that does not participate in the field trip (excused absence included) must still fulfill this grade requirement by reading the Beauty and the Beast folktale and writing up a C.E.R. response citing textual evidence to support the given prompt. We are encouraging all students to participate in this field trip but understand that not all students show interest or are able to attend. To be fair to all students, the written response is a requirement for everyone.
