January 6, 2020 Dear Parents, I hope you all had a wonderful vacation and celebrated the holidays well with your families. I did! Went to the movies, the Richard Jewel and Star Wars movies were excellent! A lot of good eating in and out, visiting the senior home, working out, and some golf with Wade Eddy at the Atlanta Athletic Club...he shot a 42-37, 79!!! Spectacular!! Really looking forward to seeing the kids again and hearing about their vacation fun! Here are the weekly updates: Reading: This week we will begin a research project. I will give student rubrics and checklists to guide them in what is required. We will continue our Book Club books this week and continue reviewing figurative language, i.e. metaphors, similes, idioms, proverbs, and adages, and 1st and 3rd Point of View. Writing: We will review informational essays again and begin writing another one using the same topic they will pick for their projects. Grammar: We will review conventions and prepositions/phrases used in their daily writing.
