Games block

St. Emily will be having a games block on Friday from 2:30-3:30pm. Students are welcome to bring in board games from home or play games that are in the classroom. 

Bridge to Terabithia

The afternoon class has now begun a novel study for Bridge to Terabithia. Students have been given a new exercise book to work out of for this unit. Every day, we will read one chapter together in class and then, students will complete corresponding questions, vocabulary, and extension activities. We are sharing a set of novels with another class, so students will leave the books at school unless there is a special circumstance. It is his/her responsibility to read at home if he/she is absent. Attached is a link to an online pdf version of the novel.
