Week of 12/15/14

Sorry, I'm a bit late.  I was out of school sick and I couldn't log on to my account.  The students went to see a play in Bloomsburg on Tuesday.  I was very disappointed that I could not attend.  The students will have two tests on Friday, December 19th.  They did know about these last week.  The first will be character traits.  They will have to list 25 character traits from a very long list that I gave to them  They  will also have a vocabulary in context test.   Have a great weekend!

The students will have a comprehension test on Monday on the stories "The Fun They Had" and "Feathered Friend."  We will start the story "Zlata's Diary" on Tuesday.  The focus skills are nonfiction, articles and essays.  The test for "Zlata's Diary" will be on Wednesday, December 17th.  The students will receive a character traits paper on Wednesday.  We will be discussing character traits.  They will have a test on character traits on Thursday, December 18th.  We will also be working on vocabulary in context.  The test for this will also be on the 18th.  On Tuesday, December 16th we will be going to the Alvina Krause Theater in Bloomsburg to see a play called "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."  The students will come to school and go home from school on their regular school buses.  The dress for the play will be dress code appropriate or dress up.
