A Wrinkle in Time

Dear 5th grade families,

We will begin reading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle next Tuesday, February 18th, in Literature. If your student does not have his or her own copy of the book, you can purchase one from Amazon at this link or from many other book suppliers. The ISBN number for this edition is 978-0312367541.

We would also like you to know that, at this point in the year, students will be assigned to read some pages from A Wrinkle in Time at home for homework, so it is imperative that your student has a personal copy. We also help our students to become more perceptive readers by annotating or marking a text. Please provide a copy of the book that can be written in.

I would also like to announce that we will have the 5th grade A Wrinkle in Time Literature celebration on Wednesday, March 18th.

Here are the new vocabulary words we will learn as we read A Wrinkle in Time. You can help support your child's growing vocabulary by sprinkling these words into your daily conversations.

Prodigious
Belligerent
Dilapidated
Chide
Emanate
Deviate
Impenetrable
Trepidation
Exuberance

Enjoy your long weekend!
