Holiday Drive
The students of Project Challenge grades 3-5 are participating in a Lion's Club Holiday Drive. We are looking for donations such as new toys, new games, toiletries, and food for the needy families in the Darien area. If you wish to participate you will need to bring the donations in by December 13. Remember that some of these families live right here in Darien. So let's help these families have a happy holiday season.
PLEASE DONATE!
3rd Grade Skills Reading with Mrs. Csorba
This week we will begin working on the author's viewpoint. We will do this while we read a story from our reading book called "The Keeping Quilt." We will also be working on vocabulary from the story.
4th Grade Skills Reading with Mrs. Beseth
We will be reviewing the skills that we have gone over since the beginning of the year. The students will also work on summarizing and making generalizations. In writing summaries, the students will learn to pick out the main points or events of a story or passage and concisely put them in their own words. In making generalizations the students will learn that generalizations are broad statements that are true most of the time, and are based on fact or good reasons, and may include words like always or most.
5th Grade Skills Reading with Mrs. Bucklin
We will be working on a final project for our novel The Kid in the Red Jacket. We will also be responding to the text by answering some extended response questions.
