ELA
ELA scored a TOUCHDOWN with the book Unstoppable. We carried the ball through the 100 chapters and completed the reading about Harrison and his game of football and life. Students have been working on a culmination activity to go along with the book Unstoppable. They will be presenting their activity next week virtually from the comforts of their own home! Please help them practice making a presentation. Use the Speaking Rubric in your child's google classroom to help you with giving productive input. All they need is an audience, support, and encouragement. Over the weekend have your student make sure they have completed all ELA work for this past week including the Pear Deck for Unstoppable, the daily Sacred Writing.
Students and staff have all been working hard on our remote learning and are looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation. All the ELA staff wish each one of you a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving break.
