Language Arts: 

6^th Grade:

• Took a quiz in commas, colons and semi-colons (6^th grade only). 
• The students were introduced to the book club options for our next book. They will be receiving their book club book on Wednesday.
• The expectations for the May R and E were given out. This R and E is different and will focus on the “Classic Genre.”  Please review the list of options with your child and return the signed sheet by May 1^st.
• I am also including two “Must Read” list on the blog.  There are some other options on this list which I may allow. I will not allow all of these book.  Especially, the more popular/current ones. I really want the kids to “stretch” their reading choices.
