Growing As Readers

We are building the skills we need to be strong readers. Part of that work includes rereading some passages multiple times. This week we talked about why we read some text more than once. We want to be close readers who DIG DEEPER!

No Spelling

There will be no spelling on this short week!

Headphones

If you have a small extra pair of headphones at home, or are willing to purchase a set, would you please send them with your child? I would like to have a pair for each student so that we can start using games and videos with sound for individual practice and research. Please send headphones that can fit in a ziploc bag so that they can go in desks easily. THANK YOU!!!

Making Writing Meaningful

This week we are taking some time to make our writing notebooks more special. Writers often do the best job writing about what they know and love. We created hearts showing the things/people we care about so we would have a great reminder in our notebooks of what matters to us and what we would enjoy writing about.
