 * __ 3/19/10 - __** Students made a comic strip of their favorite scene from **__The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963.__** I sent it home to give them an opportunity to complete the assignment. This is a graded assignment. It should be completed, colored, and returned on Monday to receive credit. We will continue reading the novel on Monday with Chapter 11.


 * __ 3/17/10 - __** We are still reading the novel, **__The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963.__** Students are enjoying the novel so far, and have enjoyed listening to the novel on CD while they read it. Some students have even purchased the novel to have at home. We encourage students to do this, and then when they are absent, they can still keep up with the class while they are home. We prefer that students not read ahead, but stay with the class. It is up to the student to catch up to where the class is when they are absent, and they can always check out a copy of the novel during classtime when they return to school. **__As always, students are required to read for 20 minutes everyday, even when they are absent. This is a schoolwide policy.__**
 * __2/10/10__** - Students are reading the novel - **__The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963.__** We are just beginning and are on Chapter 3 of the book. Students have a recording log that needs to be completed for Chapters 1 and 2, and questions about Chapters 1 and 2. Both need to be completed and turned in on Tuesday for grading. We will continue with both reading and listening to the novel on Tuesday. Also, you are having a spelling and vocab test next week. Please study for both. Have a great, restful break!
