Dear Families,
The freshly fallen snow has caused  great excitement in our classrooms!  It is important that students are coming to school with appropriate winter gear so that they can enjoy recess.  Please make sure your child's name is in ALL of their gear!  Here is an update:

Reading:  We finished The War with Grandpa!  Students have been doing a great job monitoring their own understanding of a story by giving themselves a comprehension check, thinking about what the text is signaling them to do, summarizing the book parts of the book, and making predictions.

Writing: Students are learning how to draft their personal narratives on Google Docs.  We are learning how to use a storyteller's voice and not a newscasters voice.  We have been analyzing a lot of examples of the difference between the two.

Upcoming Dates:
11/21    No School
11/22    No School
11/23    No School
12/7      No School
