Oops I forgot to post this last week :)

We have started a new read aloud and are focusing on the difference between the physical description of a character and their personality.  Students are using evidence from the text to support their observations.  In writing we started looking at how we can use sound and color words to made our writing more interesting.   Here are some important reminders/updates for the week:

Literacy Night
We will be holding a Literacy Night and Ice Cream Social on Tuesday in the gym from 5:30-6:30.  During the first part of the night families can circulate around to various tables and learn about tools they can use at home to promote literacy.  At 6:00 pm we will meet author/storyteller Elizabeth Bluemle and enjoy a live storytelling!  After, will enjoy ice cream to celebrate our commitment to reading by signing a CLiF Read to Me! Contracts!
