For the week beginning October 12

Reading-
7A Reading will be completing "I Prove Myself a Hunter." We will also practice predicting (along with the other reading strategies). I expect we will be ready for the quiz by the end of the week.
7B/C Reading - Individually and in small groups, we will be reading and completing "The Noble Experiment." We will practice clarifying (summarizing) through a guided activity.

Writing-
All classes - New spelling words (see below) focus on the "i before e" rule. This is straight-forward spelling, not usage problems as in past lists. Students will be conducting their biography interviews this week, both inside and outside of class. Interviews are due on Friday. Finally, we will be studying simple subjects and simple predicates in grammar. Expect a brief grammar quiz next week.

Spelling list #4 - Thief, Chief, Believe, Retrieve, Achieve, Relief, Shriek, Niece, Perceive, Receive, Neighbor, Weight, Weird, Foreign, Height, Either, Leisure
