Book Clubs are doing great! All the books seem to be intersting to the
students. Please make sure your child has at least 15 minutes a night of
reading time.
ENGLISH/GRAMMAR: We are learning the process of writing a story this week.
The children will begin the stages by learning the features of a story,
prewriting, making a draft, revising, researching, etc. If you have any extra
gift bags at home or happen to see some really great, wacky or cute ones at a
Dollar store, please send them for us! We are going to use them to make books
after we learn the whole writing process and it is so fun! The kids are sooo
creative and imaginative. Make sure you look for their steps in the writing
process of their story!
SPELLING: Please check your child's agenda for current spelling words.
