Language Arts Syllabus - September 3, 2007

Team 6-3 Mrs. Alexander
Reading and Language Arts Syllabus
Week of September 3, 2007
Website: d97jalexander.blogspot.com

Important Information:
*A weekly syllabus in each core subject will go home with your child the first day of every school week throughout the school year. You will find my syllabi posted on the above website.
*All students should have read Bud, Not Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis, over the summer. Students who did not read the book over the summer should be reading it now because we have planned activities for it later this month. The books may be available at the Oak Park Public Library.
*All students need a quart sized Ziploc bag by Thursday September 6. Students may purchase bags from his/her teacher for 25 cents.
*Students began their Vital Statistics survey in class last Friday. A typed draft is due by Wed. Sept. 5. A final typed copy will be due next week. If you do not have a computer for your child to type the Vital Statistics survey please plan to use the public library.
*Don’t forget to send in a box of tissues and one roll of paper towels, if you haven’t done so already. Thank You.
