Reading Counts
Goals this 9 weeks are set by the students. Goal sheets are being sent home today. The due date is May 12, 2017. Reading We are currently reading Freedom Walkers which discusses segregation in the south, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Students have been engaged in discussions regarding the treatment of black people during those times, and asking questions about the bus boycott. We will be finished with Freedom Walkers before spring break. Our focus is on the craft and structure strands, which break down why the author wrote the text the way he did. Students will be evaluating text and writing responses to what they read. Language Arts We will be reviewing grammar, punctuation, and root words in preparation for the Reading FSA which covers Language Arts editing skills as well. Important Dates Spring Break 4/10 to 4/14
