Today was a thrilling day! We had so many good listeners. During social studies we learned about our 3 branches of government. Tonight I am going to show you my new paragraph practice. Mrs. B helped us plan for the process in my planner on pages 44 and 45. We wrote a descriptive writing about a yummy lifesaver today. You can listen to it on Moodle soon! (written by the class and submitted by Mrs. B.)

Here’s what we have for you tonight:

Language Arts: Paragraph Practice “Great Potato Disguise” due is due Friday, Nov. 7th. Today I assigned something called the Great Potato Disguise, and it is due on November 7th! I gave your kids the card they will need for the final copy. This is one of my favorite assignments, and I know your kids are already quite excited about it!
