ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS: If you had a headset at home, please bring it in! We need them!!!
We had a terrific Tuesday! This morning we brainstormed important people, places and things and wrote them on our “ideas” sheet for our writer’s workshop notebook. We taped these into our notebooks to use as topic generators. In the afternoon, we started reading “Tales of A Fourth Grade Nothing” during reading workshop. Ask your child to share with you their favorite character so far.
