Monday Message

Good Morning!
In Writer's Workshop we are continuing to work on "how-to" books.  The students are really enjoying these.  We are now writing longer books and even chapter books.  This week we will learn how to write introductions and conclusions for our books.
    The first week of round 3 sight word tests went well.  Thanks for practicing at home.
In Guided Reading we continue to work on many reading strategies.  Ask your student how to use the following strategies when you are reading at home....

  • Stretchy the Snake
  • Eagle Eye
  • Lips the Fish
  • Chunky Monkey
Students should be able to think of ways to figure out new words when they come to them using these strategies.
   In science we are now learning about living and non-living things and their needs.  Students seem to be enjoying this.

Reminders:

  • Book orders are due Friday.
  • Grandparents Day RSVP's are due as soon as you can.
  • March 6 parent teacher conferences (only is requested)
  • March 7th is a half day (11:40)
