We&#8217;ve watched a youtube video, listened to the song, and analyzed the song lyrics. We are going to perform a reading of the poem for ourselves over the next two days with Ms. Turrell accompanying on the violin!

I have a hunch students did outstanding based on their effort and concentration today! We are starting Greece tomorrow and dividing the class into City-States for the remainder of our year. Yikes!

If students did not meet they will be retesting in reading this week. If they did meet and you would like to have them retest, I have a letter they can pick up from me that a parent\/guardian needs to sign. If your student exceeded, they are done with OAKS for the year!<\/li>\n<li>I will be gone Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week for a funeral in Idaho. Students will be in good hands with Mrs. Vaughan, and if you or your student needs to get ahold of me I will be checking in through email and edmodo!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s midterms this week!
