Welcome Back!
Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had restful holidays and that we're all ready to jump right back in.
In language arts, we will be reading a Reader's Theater version of Oedipus Rex. This follows our mini-plays, where Katrina's class performed The Illiad, Linda's class performed The Odyssey and Emilie's class performed The Aenied.
This week, we are looking at Greek and Latin root words and are creating our own. It's a lot of fun!
Following our study of Greek theater, we will all ready Tiger, Tiger by Lynn Reid Banks.
A reminder that there is NO small writing due this week, but we'll be back on track next week.
*As an effort to increase traffic here on the blog, I'm going to start posting occasional questions. Post your answer and before I post the next blog, I'll choose a winner at random. Here's today's question:
What book(s) have you enjoyed that have been made into movies? Do you like the book or the movie more? Why?
