Hello! I hope everyone is doing well!
This week’s assignments are already up and posted on Google Classroom. It is labeled March 30th-April 3rd – click the assignment to open the instructions. This week you have another Newsela (please follow the directions exactly), 10 more Read Theory (should have 65 since Jan. 18th for full credit), and your last 4 IXL lessons, along with reading your chapter book. (I sent an email to students about how I graded IXL – please read your email). There is not work next week due to Spring Break.
After Spring Break, we will be starting a novel study on the book The Giver by Lois Lowry. I realize libraries are closed and getting access to a book may be difficult. I have a PDF copy of the book I will upload to iLearn for those of you that can’t get access to ebooks or purchase a copy of your own. I strongly encourage you to have your own hard copy that you can highlight and annotate in – and can be used for quizzes. The PDF version is a little more difficult to manage and there isn’t an opportunity to annotate with it – but you will still be able to use it on quizzes as well.
Target and Amazon have the best price for the book right now but I also included a link to Barnes and Noble. I also support going online to your locally owned bookstores too!

Stay safe and I will be updating you again later in the week or next week when I have more information!
