It was such a great day today! This morning we worked hard on brainstorming for our personal narrative writing assignment. We were also encouraged by a wonderful model piece entitled ”The Great Gerbil Escape”. This afternoon we worked hard to finish up our second social studies unit which we will take a short quiz on tomorrow along with our vocabulary quiz! We also had some time to work on our cursive today! What a busy Monday!
Today your child is bringing home a flyer about an Earth Day Poster Contest. We had some time in class to go online and look at examples of posters from previous winners. If your child chooses to create a final poster and enter the contest, all of the information is on the flyer!
*Please encourage your child to bring a water bottle to class so he/she does not have to leave class when thirsty!
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY! PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!
