March 23

5th Grade Language -- We will continue to work on learning how to read & gather, take notes, and make Bibliography cards for research papers in class.
      **** 4 Bibliography Cards are due March 30. Sources must include one encyclopedia article, one biography, and two additional books (either reference books or biographical books). I am providing the encyclopedia articles in class, and they are reading the biography for an oral book report. This leaves only 2 additional sources for them to locate. They need all sources in class on Friday.****
