Language Arts: Students are reading I am Malala Chapters 11-19 in class. The rest of the their packet will be due on Friday, December 14th. This is an in-class assignment, but students can also work on it at home.

Social Studies: Students are completing their Timebook pages on the Middle East unit. This is their summative project, and it will be due Friday, November 30. Students are working on it in class, but may take it home as well. They must complete 3 options from the checklist on their bright blue Timebook packets (also located on Google Classroom). All of their work is either hand drawn or in Google Classroom.

I am so proud of the students’ writing for our class narrative anthology! Every student has a story in our book, after working so hard for three weeks. Thank you to families for supporting and helping their child’s writing at home. I hope this is a book they will keep for many years to come!

Sincerely,

Kirsten 🙂
