Week of October 28th Update

Hi parents!

I hope you all had a wonderful week! Thank you so much for the welcome back breakfast yesterday! Your kiddos have been so kind to me during this transition. I have been very appreciative of the hugs and sweet pictures they have been giving me. They have put a smile on my face when I have needed it most!

Next week in…

Reading: We will be discussing prose and reading several stories as examples to discuss these elements.

Writing: We will continue working on our opinion writing.

Word Work: The students will receive a new list of vocabulary words on Monday. The quiz will be on Friday, November 8^th. We will also be discussing idioms, adages, and proverbs. There will be an assessment on Friday, November 1st.

Homework: Students should bring home their word work journal each night and study their vocabulary words as well as review our other word work concept each week. Please help remind students to bring their journals back to school each day as we do use them on a daily basis. Students should also read for at least 20 minutes each night. Please remind your students to work on their book reviews.

Reminders:

• Next week is Red Ribbon Week. Students are allowed to dress up each day next week. Please see the attachment for a description of the dress up days.
• Tonight is the Monster Mash! It is from 6:30-7:00. You may pay at the door if you did not get a chance to prepay.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I appreciate your patience as I make this transition.

Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!
