Week of
September 11, 2017
Reading: We will continue reading our core
lit. book, Esperanza Rising in which
students will then practice building their
ability to read challenging text closely as
relating it with all weve learned about
Human Rights. Students will also practice
citing evidence while answering questions.
We will also continue reading Wonder by RJ
Palacio which will allow us to learn how to
be kind to one another.
Math: This week in math we will continue
