This week we will finish our novel study From the Mixed -up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler written by E.L. Konigsburg. The students should be ready to assemble their vocabulary books in class Thursday. We will review Thursday and have a test on the novel Friday. This test will not include vocabulary: Instead the students will earn a test grade for their completed vocabulary book. I look forward to the students sharing their great and hard work!
