Homework: – Wednesday: page 56

Because of Winn-Dixie: – We started our class novel (Because of Winn-Dixie). Every week, we will be covering a few chapters, and after every 5 chapters, we will be having a quiz to ensure that every student comprehends what they are reading. Please ask your child/children questions about what we have read in class, and encourage him/her/them (as I do) to bring home their books to review what was read in class. My only rule is asking them not to read ahead of what we have covered in class unless they have been asked to do so.

This week, we are reading chapters 18 – 20. We will then have a quiz on Chapters 16-20 on Thursday, November 15th.
