In Language Arts today the students met in their literature circles to read and discuss chapters four and five of The Giver. The students also spent time focusing on the milestones that children in the community have each year.
Since the field trip was academically related to the folktale unit students recently completed in Language Arts, the CER response students wrote after the field trip will be graded in Language Arts class for all sixth grade students. Any sixth grader who was absent on the day of the field trip will be required to read a written version of the story and create a CER response as a make up assignment. They will be given the typical amount of make up time to complete this response.
Have a great evening!
