Wonder pages 235-248 questions; read pages 250-267

Today I collected your work from last week on pages 158-234.  When you are completing questions for the story: organize yourself!  Do not make me guess the pages numbers for the questions!  Please and thank you :)

I also reminded you of our field trip to Meadow Brook on Nov. 24th to see "A Christmas Carol".  We are still in need of drivers and your permission slip and money turned in!  Make sure you do this ASAP!  I also gave out slips to those of you who lost your first one.

Finally I rolled out a project to you that I will give you full details on next week.  This project will be the final project for Wonder: In your literature circle group, you will choose a precept and create a script and skit to illustrate it.  Again, more details to come on this next week.

Your quiz over parts 5-8 will be on THURSDAY of this week.  Today I gave you the vocab and characters to know.  Tomorrow I will verbally prompt you on a few things so you won't be in the dark to the remaining items on the test.

HOMEWORK: Pages 235-248 questions and vocabulary.  Also, make sure you read pages 250-267:

• bittersweet (not the taste of candy!)
