Literature
Students shared a SOAPSTone analysis of their Summer Reading books in small groups today. Students then turned in their SOAPSTone charts and written responses to five questions over the book presentations they observed. Tomorrow, we will take a quiz over the SOAPSTone strategy and then begin reading a short story out of our literature textbook. Students will be issued a textbook to use throughout the year. Writing We began our first composition today--a letter to ourselves. This letter will be sealed in an envelope and placed in our portfolios. These will not be opened until the last day of class in May! The final copy is due tomorrow at the end of Writing class. It should be in ink and on the front side of the paper only. On Monday, we will begin our literary analysis essay of our Summer Reading book. Students should continue to bring that book to class each day. Comments are closed.

A Classroom Prayer
Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, enter into my mind and heart. Give me the gift of knowledge and the grace to use it wisely. Help me in all my endeavors. Give me perseverance and fortitude. Help my memory, that I may remember what I learn and recall it when necessary. Guide me in the classroom.
