For the Week of May 2Language Arts: Beginning this week our biography project will be in full swing! All students should be actively reading their biography and taking notes. They will have time in class to read, but are welcome to do research at home as well. The required pieces for this week are written paragraphs on the person's family and early life. Students will then begin working on their timeline, accomplishment paragraphs, descriptive words web, and fun facts paragraph. Students that fall behind, will be required to work on their biography project at home. If your child is having difficulty reading their biography at school, they should use this book as their reading homework. For more information, please click here. Please contact me if you have any questions.
