What?? More talk about culture??

This week's reading selection is titled "Yang the Third and her Impossible Family." In the story, we are going to see how Yang is challenged by her family's culture and customs and how they fit into the American culture. This week, our test on Friday will not be the standard multiple choice test. We are focusing on the strategy of self questioning this week and the students will need to be able to explain how this strategy helps them as readers and how it helped them understand the selection. More will follow tomorrow about this process. We may even post our first video of some kids practicing this strategy! We'll see if I can figure this out!

Here is our work for tomorrow/Wednesday:
Spelling - contract due on Wednesday/test on Wednesday

Language: We are studying subjects and predicates

Math - my class, #5,10, 15, 20, 25 on the worksheet - also math boxes are due on Wednesday

IMPORTANT!!
School pictures are on Wednesday - be sure to send in your money by Wednesday if you want to order pictures! Sending money in Wednesday with your child is fine!
