Last week was intense, to say the least. One thing that I really saw was a community that came together and helped out in any way possible. People opened their homes, volunteered their time, and offered all the support they could muster and then some. It really made me appreciate the community where I work and live! I am truly thankful for our first responders that kept all of us safe during this devastating time and who work miracles day in and day out.
This week, hopefully, we will return to some normalcy. I think we all need that! Accelerated Reader (AR) is due tomorrow (35 points). Students will be able to take tests before school, during class, and at lunchtime (tests can ONLY be taken in my room). We will focus on adding literary elements to our notebooks for reference purposes during short-stories and novels throughout the year. By the end of the week, we will preview the short-story "Raymond's Run" and write and record a vocabulary narrative that incorporates events from the author's life and the setting of the story.
