Ms. Reid's info for Dec. 14-18

This week we will wrap up our unit on transitive verbs, direct objects, and the capitalization and punctuation rules with a grammar test on Wednesday.
We have completed our study of O’Henry, and the students will have an opportunity to choose one writing assignment to complete as a culminating activity for that study.
In addition, the students will have a Cool Word test on Tuesday. There are only five new words on this test, so this should not create a lot of extra time studying at home.

Homework
Monday
Cool Word test is tomorrow.
Tuesday
Grammar test is tomorrow.
Wednesday
O’Henry paper is due tomorrow.
Thursday
Vocabulary Illustration is due tomorrow.
Friday
Have wonderful weekend!

Stuff Folder: In the next week, you will receive the Cool Word test to sign on Wednesday, and the Grammar test to sign on Friday. Please ask your child for these papers so that they do not carry these responsibilities over the Christmas holidays.
