6th Grade Language Arts
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: Week of Oct. 14-17, 2003
This week, we will be starting Theme (Unit) 2 in our reading textbooks, "Through Other Eyes." Students will be given a handout explaining 2 projects that go along with this theme. One project is for a test grade, and the other project is optional for extra credit. Students may choose which project they want to complete for the grade. I also handed out a copy of the grading sheet I will use when grading these projects. These projects are due on or before Oct. 24 and Oct. 31. In other words, by Oct. 31, I must have anything students want to turn in! If you have old magazines at home that we could have, please send them to school with your child!

Tuesday - We will become familiar with our new theme. We will get a list of story related vocabulary. Homework tonight is to complete the vocabulary worksheet, if necessary.
