I can't believe that it is already 2012. I hope you all had a fanastic break and are ready to tackle the rest of the year! :)
Today in class we began our second novel of the year...My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. We had a great time learning about the author and the setting of the novel. We visited the author's website and learned a ton! Feel free to go back and review what we learned, or learn more. Please visit: www.jeancraigheadgeorge.com
For writing, we finished up the last components of Expository Writing today. For a final assessment, each student is to write an 11-sentence paragraph and the topic is: Jean Craighead George. So if you did not take good notes in class or do not remember enough information to write an amazing paper, please go back and visit the website to learn more.
Check your newsletters for this weeks homework. Welcome back...I'm glad to get into the swing of things again. Happy 2012!
