This week we have been reviewing Unit 1 Part 1 on Fiction. We are having a Unit 1 Part 1 open book test (Not open notes) next Thursday, November 15. Students will have all the essay questions and charts to review by this Thursday. In addition to comparing the various stories students will also be tested on 15 out of 30 vocabulary words that we have had so far this year. I do not think students need to stress about this test, as they will be well prepared.
Next Thursday, November 15, students will also be turning in their fiction book report. They have been reading this book in school and at home. They also received the direction sheet for the project last week. Any students who have lost the file folder the project is to be completed on must pay 10 cents to receive another one. (This money will go towards the purchase of classroom rewards.) Book reports can be turned in 1 or 2 days early to earn an extra point or two.
After our fiction unit comes to a close, we will begin our nonfiction unit. Students can begin thinking about what they would like to read for the next book report. We will also be watching an interactive power point presentation to learn about what nonfiction writing is comprised of. Students will also have the option of creating their own power point later this second marking period.
If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to send me an email. Happy 4 day weekend.

8As Update
Our fiction unit is wrapping up next week. Upon completion of "The Lady or the Tiger" we will begin reviewing Units 1 and 7. Our unit test for fiction will probably be the week of November 19th. Our next unit of study is nonfiction. Begin looking for an appropriate nonfiction book...I'll let your child know when that is needed.
As you know our book report is also coming due. Students selected a fiction book, last month, to read in school, but they should now be reading some at home as well. The book report is to be completed on a file folder they were give last week. If you child has lost his/her file folder they can purchase one for 10 cents. The book report is an easy way to start off the second quarter. Last year's students designed beautiful covers. The book report is due November 16th.
This second chapter in grammar is focusing on nouns. Please review any lessons for chapter two with your child as chapter one caused a bit of a struggle for many students. Chapter two is a great deal shorter that chapter one. It has only six lessons before we begin reviewing.
Please feel free to send me an email with any questions or concerns. Happy 4 day weekend.
