It's Time For An Adventure!

Our very first book report is due Thursday, September 26th.  The genre for this book report is either adventure or fantasy.  Fantasy is a fiction that includes magic and other fantastic elements that are somehow connected to a real world setting or to an entire fantasy world.  Adventure books may or may not be fantastic, since they include some nonfiction stories, as well.  Adventure books have action, excitement, suspense, and a main character who constantly overcomes challenges.  This book report is presented inside a container. (ex: lunch sack, gift bag, oatmeal container, manila envelope, shoebox, etc.) Pack 4-5 items in the container that represents the characters, setting, problem, and solution.  All students will present their container to a small group and explain why each item was chosen.  The rubric and directions are included in the pink pages of your homework folder.  Good luck!

This week we GET to take the IOWA basic tests.  This is a national test that 3rd graders and 5th graders are required to take to test our knowledge compared to all students in the USA.  We will be testing this Tuesday through Thursday.  Please help your student by making sure they get to bed on time and remind them to eat a healthy breakfast for some extra super brain food!  Thanks for your help!
