Term 3 Begins January 11

As a class we will be reading the novel The Giver.  We will focus on themes and the reading strategy of asking questions and recognizing question-answer relationships.

QAR's - Question-Answer Relationships

Our writing for January will focus on persuasive writing.

We will learn the rest of the prefixes and suffixes from the master chart, and spelling words to go along with them.  See the calendar in the right margin of this blog for testing dates.

You will need to have your individual book for January read by January 26/27.  As you read it, watch for themes expressed in the book.
