4PA Update

Last week students spent time reviewing symbolism.  During the upcoming week, we will wrap up our learning about symbolism and move into a brief review of literary elements and plot.  We will also be building background knowledge related to the content in The Secret Garden.  Finally, students will be completing a preview and predict activity which will enable them to begin to consider what this classic novel will be about.  During the remainder of the week, students will begin reading the text.  Each learner will be responsible for identifying literary elements, important events that relate to the plot, symbolism, character traits, etc...Please be aware that students, most likely, will have reading to do at home.  

I look forward to meeting you at conferences and discussing your child's learning.  I sent home conference reminders on Thursday, November 14th.  If you did not receive one, please feel free to contact me by phone or email, and I will be happy to inform you of your conference time.  Conferences will take place on Thursday, November 21st from 4:30-8 p.m. and Monday, November 25th from 8:00 a.m.-8 p.m.  Please be aware that conferences will only be 10 minutes.
