Thursday; January 21

Today in writers' workshop, students are working on adding reasons to their opinion writing.  They are learning how to use precise language to add their reasons to their essay.  Your child self selected a topic to write about (for example, should there be more PE time during the school week?)

In readers' workshop, all students finished their book clubs. They are working in teams to work on a series of activities. Some groups are creating board games based on their book, while other groups are using the iPads to create book/movie trailers.  Ask your child what project they are working on based on their book club book.

In math, we are learning about adding and subtracting decimals. Today's focus was more on subtraction.  Their homework is mostly subtraction of decimals.


Thank you parents for coming to the camp meeting on Tuesday.  I was very excited to see so many families.  I'm sorry if I didn't get a chance to talk with you, but if any questions regarding camp arise please email me.
