Grade+5+Language+Arts

I am meeting with students from Mrs. Eaton's classes on Mondays and Thursdays during part of their Language Arts time. Mrs. Eaton's homeroom is reading __Snow Treasure.__ The next novel for Mrs. Eaton's class is //Running out of Time//. Mrs. Born's class will read //Island of the Blue Dolphins//. The novel studies include individual reading and writing, group discussions, and partner work. This is an extension of Mrs. Eaton's Language Arts class, and each student participating will receive grades that will be averaged in with Mrs. Eaton's. If your child is participating and you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email or phone.

The students have begun a study of Caesar's English. Each week the students will be introduced to Latin stems and advanced vocabulary in context. Mrs. Eaton will test the students the following week during their Language Arts Block. She will inform the students each week as to which day they may expect to take the test. The students should make notecards each week with new stems and vocabulary for review as the tests are cumulative. pamela.barker@nhcs.net 256-3171 Ext. 204
