As previously stated, the paperback version is more affordable and there are plenty in stock on Amazon. I have a few extra copies, but it’s crucial for each student to have their own copy as it will become an interactive tool that we write in as well as read.

Every day we start the class with silent and independent reading. I have allowed the sixth graders to select books from my personal supply of chapter books, but sadly many books are missing and the shelf is left in disorganization each day. Please encourage your child to bring a book from home to read at school. I will also take them all to the library tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 14th to check out a book.
Week of November 6th
Quick Update! As you all know, the January Quiz for Wednesday Wars will take place on Monday. Questions were given last week AND I sent a summary that included all the answers.

WEEK OF OCTOBER 30TH
Students….please, do not wait until the last minute to study for the vocabulary tests. Remember, www.vocabtest.com, is what I use to design the test! Our next test will be on Unit 5, Nov. 10th. Please be diligent about studying a little bit each night, especially since you don’t have assigned homework from this class.
We will continue with Wednesday Wars, chapter “January.” We will finish this chapter on Friday. Quiz questions will be given on Friday and the quiz will take place on Tuesday, November 7th.
ALSO, it’s very important that you have a book of your own to read each day. I have too many books missing and will not be able to loan out my personal books any longer. To aid in this, I will take the class to the library next week to check out a book if purchasing one is a burden.
Have a great week! 🙂
