Today we celebrated our writing! Our class has been working especially hard in writing and I am so proud of their growth! Students have been writing realistic fiction stories for the past several weeks. At the beginning of our unit we work on creating a story arc to map out our stories. Then we had several lessons over dialogue, creating interesting characters, using "show not tell" sentences, and creating interesting leads. Students also met with writing partners throughout the unit to help come up with ideas and revise their stories. Once students created their final drafts they created a cover to go with their story. Today they shared their stories in groups and gave out awards! Ask your child about their story!
Next week:
- Monday is our Veteran's Day Assembly. It will begin at 9:00. Please encourage your child to wear patriotic colors!
- Wednesday is Early Release. Please make sure your child knows what they are to do at dismissal. Thank you in advance!
- We will have a social studies test over chapters 4 and 5 on Wednesday. The study guide was sent home yesterday.
- Friday homework this week is a math page. It is due next Friday!
Have a great weekend!
