Over the Thanksgiving holiday, you were given (B day will be given) a packet that contained instructions to read Chapters 4 and 5. While reading the two chapters, make sure you annotate the text with interesting observations, comments, or questions you might have. This "conversation" with the text can help you become a better, more active, reader. After reading, complete the compare and contrast activity. You should be able to fill most of this out without the book and simply from memory alone. Of course, if you have your own copy or go to the library to get the book, there should be no excuse for not doing the work.
Additionally, if you did not finish the questions for Chapters 1 and 2, these should be completed and turned in at the same time you turn in the packet (November 27/28).
Compass Odyssey is due December 2nd!!!! Don't forget that this will count as two different grades.
Progress Reports will go home next week. I will be grading papers like crazy over the next few days so that I can update the grades. Thank you for your patience in this matter : )
Finally, cold season is in full swing, and sniffly noses are running all over the place. Our tissue supply is low, so we would greatly appreciate donations of tissue (we have enough hand sanitizer, I believe). We will also always accept donations of copy paper, in any color.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
