Thanksgiving Vacation

Have a blessed and restful Thanksgiving!  Please read a little further in your historical fiction book -- perhaps 20 - 30 more pages.  No other assignments.  

Homework Tonight

Please read enough of your historical fiction book that you would be comfortable if called on to talk about what is happening so far, who the characters are, the setting, et cetera.  10 - 15 pages should be plenty.

Independent Reading Project 3rd marking period

Students were given a blue ½ page outlining due dates and expectations for our new reading project.  I will be posting the same here in a future post.  Students were given an overview of historical fiction by our librarian today, as well as several handouts to guide their reading of this genre.  We also had some time to pick out a book from either the school library or my classroom library.  If a suitable book was not found, I would ask that a book be found at home or at the public library as soon as possible.
