Happy Thanksgiving!


This week is an extremely short one...two days! We will not have a reading focus or a spelling focus. However, we will be ending our study of the narrative standard in writing with a character develop and story assignment. Most students have already turned in their characters and have started working on their story. Ask your child about their character!

When we return from the break we will be finishing up Unit 2 in our reading series. Students can review the past reading focuses in their readers notebook. It will cover: realism and fantasy, graphic sources, context clues, fact and opinion, and main idea and supporting details. The week of November 26 we will study main idea. The following week we will take the unit test.

There has been a change in the date progress reports will go home. Look for your child's progress report on November 27. This will not include the Unit test unfortunately.

Have a safe and delicious Thanksgiving...and keep reading every night!!!!!
