We will have 2 more weeks to work on our perspective art piece, then it will be homework and due on Jan. 31.
Literacy:
Today we are starting a new writing unit about Fractured Fairy Tales. We looked at different Fairy Tales and analyzed the story features that are needed inorder to create a narrative story.
Tomorrow we will begin our next novel study: Thunder Over Kandhar. This novel will be read in class and the students will complete Literature Circle Role Sheets each week. Rough copies of the role sheets are due on either Wednesday or Thursday and good copies are always due on Friday's. Each student has 5 different role sheets, one due each week. They are in groups and will share their role sheet every Friday in their groups. If their sheet is not completeed before their Literature Circle they will not be able to participate and therefore lose oral communication marks for that week.
**Reminders**
Tomorrow is walk to school day!
