~We are well into our first novel Maniac Magee! He is no longer homeless thanks to the Beales.... He still has some major problems like a bully named Mars Bar... and his gang from the East End, and John McNab and the Cobras from the West End! In Language we are learning some Latin roots like cent (100), bio (life), tri (3), bi (2), ped (foot), and uni (one) to help us dismantle and understand some complicated and difficult words like tricentennial. We are also focusing on making inferences to help us figure out things that are not stated in the text.
~Our first week is almost compete, please make sure you join PTA.
~No students from Rooms 10 or 11 will be able to join the class for Swim America next month unless the green forms sent home on Wednesday are returned and signed. Please note that we will also be having an afternoon picnic on each Swim America day.... so please pack a lunch!
