This Friday afternoon each class will begin their project based learning on St. Francis Assisi with their home room teacher. Therefore I will be working only with third grade and since I teach ELA and Religion our class theme will be The Prayers and Writings of St. Francis of Assisi. Third grade students will be asked to do research in this area in the coming weeks.
This Friday also will be our next ELA test which will be based on the book each class has been studying in class. New words encountered in these books will be listed in their VOCABULARY notebooks and notes about the book will be in their JOURNAL notebooks. These should be reviewed for this test. This week also each class will be reviewing use of punctuation whch will be on next week's ELA test.
