!!!Interim grade reports were handed out today!!!

This week, we will continue our journey through the novel Holes by Louis Sachar. We will read chapters 21-26. This section of the novel will focus on comprehension, vocabulary, critical thinking, and fluency. Students will complete an Edpuzzle, a critical thinking questions discussion group, and a Reader’s Theater as activities to support our reading.

Just a reminder, students and parents have access to grades through HAC, Home Access Center at all times. In case of an absence from class, it is the student's responsibility to inquire about what they missed. Once they return to school, they are expected to complete any pending assignments promptly. Assignments are also available on Google Classroom, so students can access them outside of class.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at any time at cameronj@nlrsd.org.

Mrs. Pack is out and will update upon return.

Trabajaremos para aprender más palabras reconocibles a la vista, decirlas en voz alta en inglés y combinarlas con imágenes para ayudar en el desarrollo del idioma inglés de los estudiantes que han llegado recientemente al país.

Otros estudiantes continuarán trabajando para comparar/contrastar, hacer una afirmación y escribir un párrafo para defender la afirmación. La afirmación es una opinión sobre lo que estamos comparando y contrastando. También continuaremos estudiando la estructura de las oraciones.

We will be working on learning more sight words, saying them aloud in English and matching them with pictures to help in English language development for the students that have recently arrived in the country.

Other students will continue to work on comparing/contrasting, making a claim, and writing a paragraph to defend the claim. The claim is an opinion about what we are comparing and contrasting. We will also continue to study sentence structure.
