Monday - No school

Tuesday
Continue working on The Outsiders.
This is a novel the students are working on.
Students, in general, did not do well on their
vocabulary and spelling test last week. They
were the above words. They are a little
more difficult than they have had in the past.
However, they need to begin working with
more difficult words.  Students went over the
test and and were told that there would be
a retest on Thursday.

Continued working through the sequencning
of the first 5 chapters in the book. We have
talked about the exposition of the book -
setting up of the story. Students are encour-
aged to continue reading the novel.

HW. Crossword puzzle for the above words
Also, I have attached a couple of games to
play on the web to help them.

Wednesday
Continue working on the novel and then listen
to the story on tape.  This is for those who
are behind to get them caught up. Some
students are not taking the responsibility for
reading independently. 

HW.  Study for the retest tomorrow.

Thursday
There will be a retest on last week's spelling
and vocabulary test. They will then continue
listening to the tape.
Read chapter 7.

Friday
COMPREHENSION QUIZ for CHAPTERS 1-7
Continue working through the QUIZTIME
packets for the Outsiders.
Students should be finished with chapter 7.

If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact me through the school.
I look forward to working with you and
your child. 

Educationally Yours,
Donna Raschke
