August 30:  The first Wordly Wise packet was passed out today.  Please see the separate post for the guidelines we discussed in class.

This year, our core literature books will be Out of My Mind, by Sharon Draper, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, by Grace Lin, and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, by E. L. Konigsberg.  The books need to stay at school, as we only have 1 complete class set of each, but I do have a few extra for kids to borrow if they are absent for a day. 

 

Most assignments are completed in class, but some families find it helpful to purchase a copy for home use. If students are planning to go on vacations, it's a good idea to obtain a copy from elsewhere.
