Day #27 - 10/16/15 - Unit 1: Writing (Adding Emotion) Reading Strategies: Questioning & Summarizing

Good Morning Sixth Graders,
          Today we will begin our day with a Character Ed assembly. Please make sure you have all your materials for ELA and Social Studies. Sharpen your pencils and order your lunch. Don't forget to check your mailbox each day. 
        We will be reading chapters 17 & 18 of Freak the Mighty. We will continue writing questions, both thick and thin.  In addition we will practice summarizing sections of text.
                                     Thank you
                                     Mr. Trumble
Point to Ponder:  Take out your Geography Review Packet and quiz the other students at your table. You can ask them questions right from the review sheet, or use the information to make up your own questions. Happy Studying!!
