Wednesday already!

Please remember Amish Acres blue slip, yellow slip and money due by May 15!

P. 1,4: We started reading Tom Sawyer today to get us primed for the field trip! Then we continued the skill of writing evidence from nonfiction text with "The Barefoot Bandit." Students, you know this...don't lose confidence! Remember CEE? You got this, right?
We are pondering if Harris Colton-Moore is just a "rascal" or a criminal, and we also wonder if he is courageous (as some people think). The video we watched today played tricks with our hearts...did it change your mind about him? Just wait until you see tomorrow's video!

H/W: Field trip money due May 15. Complete question #2 of Barefoot Bandit if you didn't finish it in class...for a grade.

P. 2,5,6: After reading Tom Sawyer,  we returned to The Declaration of Independence and students shared the main points of what they found in the 5 sections of the document. Now they have a strong foundation of the organization of Jefferson's thoughts. Tomorrow we will dig deep and agree/disagree on the persuasive elements that changed the government of the colonies. There are SO MANY persuasive literary elements that Jefferson and his group snuck in there!

H/W: Just remember your Amish Acres field trip slips and money!

See you tomorrow!
