Remember to keep up with your book project. You should have chosen the project you will be doing for  October  by now. Also, you should be well into the process of planning and gathering materials. If you work on your project bit by bit – it will not overwhelm you.

We will both be at a conference on Friday, so any rough drafts must be brought in by tomorrow if you would like us to check them for you.

For all of you out sick – Concentrate on getting well. Do the best you can to get some work done at home, and we will get you caught up with the rest when you return. Your health should be your main priority!

We had our first Great Books discussion on “Game of Catch” last week. Ask your child about the story. We have completed Tuck Everlasting and will finish watching the movie version this week. There are some interesting similarities and differences between the two that you can discuss. This week we will continue our instruction of expository writing with a focus on the planning phase of the prompts.
