Language Arts

We have read up to chapter 20 now in our Maniac Magee novel study. Today (Mon. Feb. 6) the students worked on a vocabulary worksheet, which is to be finished for tomorrow. A character trait map assignment was explained and given out. This is due on Friday, Feb. 10.

We continue to be working on strengthening writing skills with short in-class assignments, and longer story assignments. The students have now handed in two assignments: The Lost Year story,which concentrated on descriptive writing, and a picture-prompt story about cowboys, which focused on writing dialogue.
