Yummy! Every time I read more Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I get hungry for something sweet! Don't you? This week, we will be continuing to read and discuss this novel. We have some scrumptious activities planned, too, so that you can get a better first hand idea of what a candy factory is like!
Please remember that you can start studying your spelling words and vocabulary as soon as this blog post is made. You will also receive a hard copy of these words that you can study in the car, at breakfast, and whenever you are "on the go!" I will give you these on Tuesday. Because we have a shorter week, and because several of you didn't master the words from last week, our list will be shorter, and will include some of last week's words. STUDY them every night. And don't forget to get all your reading assignments done on time, with your study questions filled out to help you on the reading quizzes. You should be reading at least 30 minutes every night, and getting your parents to sign your READING LOG, which will be due every Friday.
