October 14th-October 18th

I hope that everyone had a wonderful week and is ready to enjoy this beautiful three day weekend!

Here is a look at next week's plans.

*Reading: The topics for reading this week will be about camping (related to the theme for our community trip to Bass Pro Shop on Thursday).  We will begin the week reading a fiction text, "When We Go Camping" by Margriet Ruurs.  The second story, for Wednesday, is a nonfiction text titled, "I'll Take Some More S'mores Please."   Due to the community trip on Thursday, there will not be reading or RtI reading on Thursday.   Friday, we will finish the week listening and answering comprehension questions to a story on storylineonline.net.  The story we will be reading/listening to is "Thank You Mr. Falker." 
*RtI Reading: The Crying Wolf readers theater play has actually been pushed back to Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.  Friday, students will be working in their phonics program, Lexia.
*Social Studies (7th & 8th grade only): As we finish up our unit on Ancient Greece, students will be completing a research project on a Greek God of their choice.  Students will be both researching and presenting their information to the class. 

All students will also be using some class time this week to prepare for our community trip to Bass Pro Shop on Thursday.  Students will be responsible for planning a camping trip and preparing a "shopping list" of material that they will need.  We will be researching necessary camping items and prioritizing what we will bring based on a budget that students will be assigned.

Have a wonderful extended weekend!

*Dates to Remember*
-No School Monday, October 14th for Columbus Day
-Community Trip to Bass Pro Shop: Thursday, October 17th (Students DO NOT need to bring money unless you wish they purchase a snack or small item.)
