Every Living Thing Character Packet

All students received their character packet and a copy of Every Living Thing today.  Although we completed most of the packet in class, there were a couple pages we were unable to finish.  I've assigned these final pages as homework this week.  The entire, completed packet and the book are due on Friday, January 18th.  This is an excellent opportunity to work with your child at home and practice skills we are currently working on in the classroom.

The final character assessment will also be based on this text.  Students will read "Retired" and use the story to demonstrate mastery of characterization skills, summarizing, and determining the theme of a story.  You are welcome to preview the story with your child.
