During class today, we began to read an article about the statues on Easter Island and practice the skill of monitoring our comprehension. At home, students can spend part of their reading time looking up answers to questions they thought of in class. Hopefully, they will find answers and be willing to share the information with the class tomorrow.
Reminder for parents, if you still have forms, turn them into school as soon as possible. This includes the anti-bullying pledge and the student questionnaire sheet (green sheet).
