Dear Families,
What a week!  Students are certainly enjoying all the snow on the playground!  Here is what we have been up to:

Writing:  We are learning how to use Google Docs to publish the final drafts of our personal narratives!  Students have learned to log onto their accounts, create a doc, name it, and share it.  Today, we will learn how to type our stories.  Students are very excited to publish on the computer!

Reading:  We finished, The War with Grandpa and have been focusing on independent reading and responding to texts.
