"The Cay"

Today we began reading "The Cay" by Theodore Taylor. It is a great book and most of the kids have not read it. There will be three grades for the book.

1)Questions over the chapters (only one or two per chapter)    2)Vocab    3)Test

I handed out the book packet and test sheet today. The packet is pretty self explanatory. The test over the book will be written by the students. I will upload both assignments below if you would like to print out an extra copy, or if you want to look over the assignments and send me any questions.

It has been awhile!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the blog, but we have been busy little bees. I have not given any homework in weeks, and we have just been studying and reviewing for the CRCT. Today we took the Language Arts test. Yesterday was the Reading test. Most of my students feel pretty good about their performance on both tests.

I will be keeping up with the blog for the rest of they year, so check back for homework and classwork updates.
