Week of March 24-28

Hello!  There is a Scholastic Book Fair happening in the library this week.  Students may bring money to shop!  Also, we are collecting gently-used books for the community book drive through the end of this week.  Please go through your bookshelves and send in those preschool/children's/young adult books that your family won't be reading anymore.  The students at Campbell and York elementaries will thank you!

We are continuing our media literacy unit this week focusing on propaganda/persuasion techniques.  There will be a test on Friday.

Homework:
Mon--logs due tomorrow; finish WS with magazine ad
Tues--analyze a TV ad using the WS
Wed--read at home
Thur--use study guide to study for the test tomorrow
Fri--no HW

READING EXPLORATORY
This is the last 4 days of reading, and then on Friday students will switch to their new quarter class.  We will be reading out of the literature book, reading some picture books, focusing on using semi-colons, and making analogies.  There will be a homework page on Tuesday.
