It's a Mystery!

We just started our Mystery unit last week and are well into our books! We have already learned some mysterious vocabulary. Ask your student what a red herring might be...

As we move through our books, students will have assignments that are based on the reading. As we meet every other day, I created a pacing guide that I believe is manageable and fair. One of the discussions we had recently was that students need to allow for enough time to do their work. When given two days to complete something, they should do a little bit one night and the rest the next. Unfortunately, we've had some students unprepared for our group discussions because either the reading or assignment was not done.

In order for us to partake in successful discussions about our reading, every student needs to be prepared. Our Reading time is first thing in the morning and my expectation is that the assigned reading will be completed before they come into school that day. Please help your student out to make their reading experience well-rounded! 

The pacing guide is below, just click on the link. Our goal is to finish our books by the 17th of December. We will then discuss a mini project that will be done over break! It's a fun one!
