Kay Says Hey!

Today we took a quiz over Lupita Manana. Many of you did very well on it, and I enjoyed reading your creative journal entries!

After our quiz, we worked on our elements of fiction flip chart. We also discussed our Memory Book project that we will be working on for the remainder of the year.

If you have not turned in your "I am a Coyote" paragraph, you must turn it in on Friday.

Don’t forget about your DGP quiz on Friday!! It would behoove you to review those materials before Friday. Have a great night!

You have a Social Studies test tomorrow!  Don’t forget to complete the review guide you received today.  I’ve attached the review guide below in case you misplaced your copy.  Be sure to look at the materials on Ms. Crull’s blog as well.  I’m sure you will do well on the test if you prepare for it!

We finished chapter six today and played “Whiteboard Race” to review for the quiz on Wednesday.  The quiz will cover the first six chapters of Lupita Manana.

Speaking of quizzes, we will have a DGP quiz on Friday.  Pay close attention this week’s DGP sentence so that you will be well prepared for the quiz!

Yesterday we talked about Lupita’s family’s financial circumstances and the possible solutions for them.  We also reflected on Lupita’s and Salvador’s reactions to Captain Ortega’s angry outburst.

For homework, you are to write a paragraph about a time in your life when you had to ask someone for help.  What was the situation?  What did you feel like when you were asking for help?  What was the end result?

Take some time and enjoy the beautiful weather today!  Obviously, you should finish your homework first!
