Thank you for such a great first week! I so appreciate how everyone worked hard to learn new routines, to be organized, and to make the most of our class periods.
Literature We started our first literature unit on Friday by reading the short story, "An Hour with Abuelo" on page 9 in the textbook. We will continue the story on Monday with close reading activities. All literature in this unit will touch on the challenges and gifts of family life across the generations.

We will then begin drafting a literary analysis essay for our summer reading. All students should please remember to continue bringing these materials to both AM and PM classes:

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.
