Ms. Reid's information for November 16-20
The Fairy Tale Booklet is due on Wednesday, November 18. The students have had over two weeks to be working on this, so they should not be up late Tuesday night cramming the work in. Please check with them this weekend to see that they have been making adequate progress.
Last week the students were introduced to transitive verbs and direct objects. We will review the new information on Monday and then spend time this week assimilating the new information into what we have already learned this year. Remember that language instruction this year is not a process of looking at one piece of information and excluding all others. All information will be pieced together to create a network of understanding. For this reason, the students should constantly be reviewing old material as they study new material.
Homework
Monday
Complete Independent Practice 8.
Tuesday
Fairy Tale Booklet is due tomorrow!
Wednesday
Cool Word Test is on Friday.
Thursday
Complete Independent Practice 9.
Friday
Be good next week! I’ll miss you!

Matthew 5:10-16 (November 2-6)
Matthew 5:10-16 (New International Version)
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
