Today in Language Arts the students continued to look at mood and tone by examining the movie, Elf.
The students were also introduced to a new story, “All Summer in a Day”. We will be reading and analyzing this story all week. Today, the students were given time to hover for words they did not know, analyze the vocabulary within the story, and present their findings to the class.
Progress Reports for Second Marking were sent home with students who have a 70% or lower in Language Arts. I will be calling home today for these students too. If you do not receive a phone call, your child did not get a report from me. Grades can be viewed for all students by checking Parent/Student Connect.
Have a great evening!
