This Week During Class...
Language Arts:
In reading we revisited character traits. We talked about how
characters change throughout a story and how that affects the plot. We
also learned the difference between tone and mood. The tone is what
the author is trying to convey, and the mood is what the reader feels.
They are generally closely linked.
Upcoming Events
Good Friday, No
In writing, we began to generate ideas for a nonfiction piece. The
students listed things they wonder about, as well as, their passions.
