Today we discussed inference in literature. Students were given time to work on an activity in class in which they read three passages and responded to related questions to help them practice looking for and understanding inference. Passages 1 - 3 and related questions will be discussed tomorrow morning.

In addition, we began our first class book, The Cay by Theodore Taylor. For tomorrow, students are to read chapter 1 (just 9 pages) and respond to the guiding questions. The setting is in the Caribbean during World War II. I will be able to extend instruction beyond the book as my dad, who is still living, is a World War II veteran. I grew up hearing many stories about his experiences. Again, students had time in class for this work, but if it was not completed the expectation is that it will be done for tomorrow morning.

If at any time your child is unable to complete an assignment just send a note in. No worries.
