Character Connections Word of the week:            GRATITUDE

Infuse this word into your conversations/lessons and share these quotes with students as a character education focus. There will be a new word every two weeks.

·        “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow...Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” – Melody Beattie

·        “I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.” – Brene Brown

·        “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” – William Arthur Ward

Language Arts:
In writer’s workshop, we are finishing up our research and the kids are getting ready to start creating their e-books!!  In Reader’s Workshop we continue to work on our reading skills and applying our knowledge to understand what we are reading.  We are also enjoying our learning around nonfiction text features.  We are learning to use them in our reading and how to incorporate them into our own nonfiction writing.

Science:
We started our next exciting science unit on Plants.  This is especially exciting as we will incorporate a lot of the knowledge we have gained from our Tower Garden project!

***Often we post things on our class SeeSaw accounts as well on our Google Classroom accounts.  Ask your child to show you what he/she has done so far!
