ELA Update - January 2018

Curriculum update:
We've started a new unit in ELA that focuses on the concept of truth. Students are reading the book Nothing but the Truth, by Avi, and will be researching the question why is truth important in the media. We've been doing some introductory activities about current events surrounding "fake news." 

How you can help at home:

• If you come across any articles about fake news or truth in the media, share them with your son/daughter.
• Take this fake news quiz with your family to start a conversation about how to tell if what you see in the media is real!  www.buzzfeed.com/janelytvynenko/massive-2017-fake-news-quiz?utm_term=.rxAlMbAX2#.ghP0exnEQ
