This week in language arts class we will be starting a writing unit that we will continue after break. Students will be writing a research paper about a current events topic. This week we will go through the different steps of writing a paper, and after break students will begin writing.
Students should start thinking about topics now and doing preliminary research to make sure they can find enough information about their chosen topics.
*Students will need to have note cards for this paper. Each student should have their OWN package of note cards to use during the writing unit. Please make sure to have note cards everyday in class after spring break.

6th grade reading students,
We will be reading The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle for the rest of this week. Anything we do not finish will need to be read after break. Your discussion questions will also be due when we get back from break, as well as your SOS journals. Please be sure ALL parts of the journal are filled out so you receive full credit.
Any questions, see Miss Corso!
