MONDAY, TUESDAY, AND WEDNESDAY

We will continue our unit on Folklore. 

Last week, we read a Fairytale called Yeh-Shen (the Chinese Cinderella).  Students will complete 4 worksheets on this tale.  These will be the last 4 grades entered before Report Cards.

We will also begin research for Tall Tales.    Many regions in the United States have their own tall-tale heroes and heroines.  These tales paint pictures of the people, land, and animals of that region.

Students will use Ipads to research regions in the United States from the bayous of Louisiana to the Rocky Mountain-- the deserts of the Southwest to the Florida Everglades. 

Again, there will be no vocabulary test.  However, students continue to be responsible for the terms we copied into their notebooks last week. 



Guidelines for next book report for 6A and 6B only.  Book Report is Due March 6th.  Handout is coming home with each student before Wednesday.
