Hello! I hope everyone had a good weekend! I am looking forward to another full week of learning! This is the last week of the Helping Hands Campaign! Please bring in any paper products, cleaning supplies, personal care items, or food items! Thanks!

Here's what's happening:

Writing: The students have begun working on personal narratives! This week the students will choose a small moment idea. They will also begin drafting. We will focus on adding action, detail, dialogue, and inner thinking to bring their stories to life.

Reading: We will are beginning another fiction unit. We will focus on finding the theme. This week we will look at how character's mistakes can help us find the theme. We will also look at how characters changing can give clues to the theme.

Word Study: They got new spelling words today. Their tests are scheduled for Friday, December 16.

Science: We will continue to learn about electricity. The students are working in groups on different stations to show what they know about electricity.

Math: The students will take the division math test on Wednesday. They received the study guide tonight. Please help them study tonight and tomorrow.

11.28 - 12.2 - Helping Hands Campaign
