Dear AcadeMir Families,
We are notifying you that on Monday April 30th all 4th grade students will begin our literature unit with Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel A Wrinkle in Time. This unit will add rigor to your child’s exploration of rich literature through complex text.
Although it is available to watch in your neighborhood cinema, we ask that you allow for us to venture into the great journey with diverse and relevant text-dependent practice through cross-curricular activities as a class prior to purchasing any movie tickets.
Our plan is to watch the movie together with our families during the first week of June, giving us enough time to go in depths to understanding the elements of story together in class. We are very excited and would love for you to assist in purchasing the novel at your local Barnes & Noble store or online order at Amazon. Please make sure to purchase the exact edition imaged above with ISBN#978-0-312-36754-1 due in class no later than April 27th to begin reading on April 30th. Sincerely thanking you in advance for allowing us the opportunity to expand your child’s love for reading~ Ms. Lira & Mrs. Guerra~4th Grade ELA T.E.A.M
