Reading and English Language Arts Assignments

6th Grade

• We are reading The Stranger, by Chris Van Allsburg, this week.  Our skills are point of view and personification.  The test will be on Friday.
• In grammar we are starting Unit 2 (nouns).  There will not be a test this week.

5th Grade

• We are continuing to read Where the Red Fern Grows.  The children have their 6 vocabulary words in their reading journals, as well as on index cards which they have made to use when studying.  On Friday they will be expected to know the definition and part of speech for each word.  They will also be expected to be able to put them into sentences.  There is a possibility of a comprehension quiz this week, but that depends on how much reading we get done this week.  The skills they are working on this week are point of view and setting.
• In grammar we are starting Unit 2 (nouns).  There will not be a test this week.
