Day #87 - 1/28/15 - Mod 2A Unit 1 Lesson 5: Ch 1-4 Review

Good Morning 6th Graders,

           I hope you all had a wonderful evening! Mrs. Sargent and I are very proud of the work you are ALL doing so far with Bud, Not Buddy. We believe in you, and care about your success in school very much.  We want you to care about your own education and learning as much as we do.       
          Today is a ‘C’ day, so we will go to Library and Technology. We will be also reviewing chapters 1 - 4  of Bud, Not Buddy before we go on to read aloud chapter 5. That means tomorrow we will take our Mid-module assessment on Figurative Language in chapter 5. Make sure you sharpen your pencils and order your lunch. Then, pick up an Ipad and work on the Point to Ponder. 

                            Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.

P2P: We have already learned many things and we have done so much this year. Write down one thing you have accomplished this year that you are proud of.
