ELA- Today we did our October book tasting and checked out our books for this month's independent reading.. I am really trying to get the students to choose books they will enjoy reading but also close to their level. If you notice the book they chose is over their heads a bit please let me know so we can switch it early in the month. They have a menu of activities to choose from each week to help them comprehend what they are reading which is due Monday of each week. I also added an easy tracking sheet in the packet for them to keep track of how much they are reading each day..  
Their only homework tonight is to read for 20 minutes and adding to their weekly activity if needed. 

Science- we started our catastrophic events centers. There is no homework. 

Thank you for your continued support! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask!
