This week in Language Arts... we will finish re-reading the short story, "Charles" and learn how to have an accountable talk about interpretive questions relating to the story. Students will also practice Word Study procedures in class. This week we will also begin keeping a reading log. Students will be expected to read 30 minutes each night and record what and how much they read. The reading log will be due at the end of each month. If students misplace the log, a new one can be downloaded from Angel.
