A New Year!

It's hard to believe the new year is upon us again. Each year seems to go by faster than the last. As I look forward in planning here are few things to note:


  MUR 5th and 6th -  We will be switching to Wordly Wise for our spelling. Students will be working in their Wordly Wise books each week and will have fifteen words for spelling instead of thirteen. There will be no challenge words. Students can study for their tests or get word lists by going to: www.wordlywise3000.com. 
  We will also be starting a new book this month. Students will be reading Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. Please note students doing Prezi's on Sharon should have them completed before the end of the month.

MUR 7th and 8th: We will continue to read David Copperfield as we study Charles Dickens. Students will focus on theme, conflict and answering evidence based questions. In literature groups students are reading contemporary fiction and having "book group" discussions. 

  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
