5PA Update

Next week, we will be wrapping up The Toothpaste Millionaire.  The ideas shared during our conversations about the book have been absolutely outstanding!  I have been so impressed with the students' critical thinking and the engagement they have exhibited during the past couple of weeks.  We will continue to focus on ideas that relate to depth and complexity during our final days reading this text.  We will also be completing a culminating activity which is sure to be the highlight of the week.  Students will be creating their very own toothpaste!  Please be sure to respond to the email regarding this activity which will be sent on Thursday, October 10th.  It is extremely important that I get written permission in order for your child to participate.  Students will also be given a pre-assessment to determine their current knowledge of literary concepts.  If time permits, we will begin reading a story entitled "The Hemulen Who Loved Silence". Have a great weekend!
