I hope everyone had a nice weekend! It's hard to believe that we will soon be done with school; we will continue to work up until the last day, and I have outlined this week's work below:
This week we will continue our study of the novel, Nothing but the Truth by reading and discussing it daily. The students will enter vocabulary words in their notebooks as we move through the book. A vocabulary test over the whole book will be on Tuesday, May 20. We will review the words in class, but please begin to study this week! Students are allowed and encouraged to bring home their reading notebooks to begin studying.
HW: Study some of the vocabulary words every day, the entire list has 54 words on it, and you do not want to wait until next Monday night to begin studying.
