Starting "Hunger Games"

Thursday marks the beginning of our reading of "Hunger Games". Kids will get books in class on Thursday in class. They will receive a paper handout of the reading calendar and they have a small activity to do on the back with each chapter. You can find a link to the calendar here!

Vocabulary Lesson 1

Hello,

All classes will have received their first vocab lesson by the end of Tuesday. I try to keep copies of them on the right here... give me a day or two to get it loaded :)

Remember, you need to write all your words in your notebook in our "Vocab Lesson's" Chapter. Only use 1 page per lesson. Write the words and the definition.

Don't hesitate to email me with questions!
