WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
Language Arts- Mrs. Phelps
Students will finish reading the Novel, When You Reach Me, this week! I can't wait for them to get the may answers to all of their questions. This book has been a mystery and I have enjoyed hearing their predictions throughout this whole book.
We are continuing our learning journey on Muhammad Ali. Last week we got an introduction to who he is and what he is known for. Students learned he is much more than a boxer. Ali was an artist and an activist who inspired so many. We will learn about his 6 core principles in more depth: Confidence, Conviction, Dedication, Giving, Respect and Spirituality. As we learn more about Ali's life, students will be able to start making connections to how is words and actions show he lived his life by those core principals.
Morphology: We will have a comprehensive morphology quiz on February 23rd. This is the last day of the trimester. Students should use their morphology cards on the ring and their morpheme chart in their notebook to study. I will make it as simple as I can and it will more than likely be done using google forms.
Homework: Read pp. 148-197 of When You Reach Me and complete assigned job sheet for our FINAL literature circles FRIDAY.
**Study for Morphology Quiz, Friday!

We will continue our Saints Madness project this week. Students have chosen a saint to research. The students are working individually this year. Our goal for this week is to research about our saint. This will help the students to determine which population their nonprofit will be serving in honor of. This project will take several weeks and a tentative timeline is below.
