Happy Easter! Hope you had a relaxing, blessed Easter holiday.
In Language Arts we have, at long last, finished our study of the novel, Maniac Magee,but we are celebrating the novel this week by acting out our favourite scenes and doing a few other closing activities.
April is National POETRY month and we will be reading/writing and studying all sorts of poetry, song lyrics and rap every day this month. Your son/daughter is encouraged to collect and bring good poems or song lyrics to share with the class.
We will be continuing to work on prepping for the PAT Writing test coming up in mid-May by working on our story-writing skills from picture cues and writing news articles...Unfortunately, the ExamBank is no help there, but there are passages that our students can read and multiple choice questions they can answer in preparation for the Language PAT (Reading) that comes at the end of June.
