We surely missed the hour of sleep on Sunday, but the warmth and sunshine we have seen this week have made it all worth it!
Taking a look at the week ahead... We will begin preparing for the Career Unit which will begin the week after spring break. This preparation will focus on outlining research and completing note cards. The students will be reading an article about leukemia to practice these important steps in the research process.
During Reading we will continue Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie, a novel about the life of a twelve year old whose brother is diagnosed with leukemia. Discussion, vocabulary, and classroom activities dealing with the stresses of the character's year will be the focus of next week. Ask your child about the novel, we have had wonderful discussions in class and many students have made connections with the character.
Enjoy your weekend!
