    Welcome to Mr. Elkins' website! I can't believe it is 4th Quarter already. Time sure does fly when you are having fun :) We will begin fourth quarter by completing the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. As we read the novel in class all students will be responsible for learning key vocabulary and completing different activities that coincide with our Elements of Literature. After we finish this novel we will focus our attention on preparing for the End of Grade test in Reading. We will review key literary concepts, vocabulary, and test-taking strategies in preparation for the EOG. The testing window for all EOG tests is the last ten days of the school year. Language Arts and Reading are key to a successful education and I can't wait to help your child grow in both areas. Please make sure you consistently check the team calendar and my website for homework and team news updates. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me using the information below.
