The End is Near...

As you know, we are into End of Course Exam (EOC) week. It has been a crazy schedule! Next week we will have our in-class final according to the following schedule:

Tuesday June 1: (A Day) 1st and 7th Finals
Wednesday June 2: (B Day) 4th and 8th Finals
Thursday June 3: (A Day) 2nd and 3rd Finals

There will also be a regular Language Arts lesson for each class next week, and we will be completing some Maniac Magee end of book projects (click for link to handout). These will be presented in class the following week.


For the final week of school, Monday and Tuesday we will be watching the Maniac Magee film and comparing it to the book. So many differences! It will be a great exercise in literary contrasts! During the film we will enjoy some Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets, the lead character's favorite tasty snack. Just in case of allergies, here are the ingredients:
