Language Arts- We reread our SCHOOL short story using our thesis statement to drive our purpose. For example, if my thesis statement is "Squeaky is fiercely protective of brother in the beginning, middle, and end," students need to reread the short story looking for evidence that she is fiercely protective at those places in the story. Above are some ways that students can start creating their body paragraphs to support their thesis. Homework- Reread HOME short story and Close Read it (highlight, mark it up, make comments based on home thesis statement). 

Reading- Duffield hour 2- Worked on our non-fiction book project. Students will have 4 more IN SCHOOL times to work. They are due 12/16- Fluency read is 12/4 and Latin Quiz is 12/7. 

Social Studies-  Studied different roles people had in Early Egypt- merchants, priests, home builders..... Students are creating a flyer for their specialized job during the school day- this is not homework.
