January 28 - February 1Dear Parents,
Happy "Snow Day!" I hope you are all enjoying your day off and hopefully we will see you back at school tomorrow! I was at a training yesterday and I can't believe we are out today! Topics this week: Reading: We are continuing to create goals, read uninterruptedly in class, and answer questions with our book club books! Thank you so much for supporting your child's love of reading by talking with them about their book selection. We will be starting our Informational Reading unit this week. We are starting this unit off by asking students what they already know about informational reading and what they hope to accomplish this unit. Our goal is to personalize learning by co-planning the unit with the kids. Writing: We will also be starting informational writing. We will start by learning how organize our ideas and then write a good informational introduction paragraph. This week we will review synonyms and antonyms as we dig into reading informational texts. **Since I was at a training on Monday and we have no school today, please have your child hold off on homework until we are all back together again.** Reminders:
That's all for now! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns by emailing me directly at [email protected]. Have a wonderful week & stay warm!
