Time Travel Thursday

Today we traveled back in time, to Latvia, to learn about Stanley Yelnat's no-good-pig-stealing-great-great- grandfather.   We also gathered further evidence that Camp Green Lake is neither green nor "campy."   I think that teacher and students alike are enjoying Holes.    If you are reading ahead, be prepared to reread!


This evening at home.....

• in Holes, read or reread chapters 9 and 10.  While you read, make a note of any interesting or new vocabulary words. You will need them.  You will understand when you read the Holes sheet that you will complete tonight. 
• complete the Chapter Summary page.  Use chapter 9.  Please make sure that your writing is neat and complete.  Tips: The title should be catchy and hint at an important event or main idea. Include at least 3 vocabulary words.   The personal connection may reflect your ideas or opinions about the chapter.
• complete the odd problems in the Go Math Chapter Review.  We did the evens in class today.  The chapter 6 test is on Monday.
• study the spelling and vocabulary words.  You can find the words in the Readers Notebook, or by clicking on the Study Guides tab on this blog.
