Hello and welcome to Week 15! This week we'll continue with our Greek/Latin Root Words and start Unit 10: "The More The Merrier." We will also be discussing Aesop Fables, the lessons they're trying to teach the reader and their connections to modern-day tales. As always, we're working on our reading stamina with 10 minutes, daily, of free reading. Absences- If a student is absent, they are responsible for making up all missed work in a timely manner. This can be done through Canvas. There is a message on our Canvas homepage with specific directions on what to do when absent. Please make sure your student comes to class every day with their ELA folder, a charged Chromebook and their Chromebook charging cord. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Math - Mr. Collins
