ELA - Rowe and Owens
We are actively reading and annotating Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. This allows the students to practice almost all of the skills we've learned this year within the framework of the novel. We will be testing on Monday & Tuesday over chapters 1-4. There is a link on Classroom to a pdf version of the novel and a link to the audiobook of the novel. YOU ARE INVITED TO READ ALONG WITH US! IT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO REINFORCE THE IMPORTANCE OF READING (& re-reading)!

Team Discipline Policy UPDATE
Our team is working together to ensure the best learning environment for our students. To that end, we are improving our "3 Strikes" system for behavior issues.
- Strike 1: Warning
- Strike 2: Lunch and Recess Detention
- Strike 3: After School Detention and Parent Contact
We will start fresh every two weeks to allow students the opportunity to improve and make wise behavior choices.
