This week in Reading/Language Arts

This week we are focusing on an introduction to the Holocaust. We are reading the play, "The Diary of Anne Frank" in groups, then aloud in class. We will also view videos and other memorabilia about the Holocaust.

Tuesday, October 26 is our field trip to the Carson Center to watch the performance of "The Diary of Anne Frank" play.

Words for Oct. 18-22 are compound words: drawback, layaway, viewpoint, gumshoe, ripcord, showdown, sideswipe, spendthrift, trendsetter, and turncoat. We will write Cause/effect statements using these words.
