HOMEWORK - Manatees worksheet, started in class to be completed at home.
Read Hoot in class - I am putting together reading packets for students to take home in order to get through the book more quickly. There is simply too much to cover in class and not enough time to devote to reading - particularly with slower readers. I hope to have these packs done by the end of the week and have told students that they can read the Hoot packets and use that reading for their Reading Responses.
Here are week 7's vocabulary words and definitions:
