I hope you all had a great weekend. Today the students continued writing their final narrative pieces. These pieces will be scored, using a district wide writing rubric, and be used as a major part of your child's writing grade for the semester. MY hope is that these are finished before the end of the day on Friday. I am also conducting reading tests during our reading block this week. This will allow me to reassess progression by all and refocus my instruction as we head into January. I am also hoping to finish these by the end of the week. Your child will have book of choice books in their homework bag this week.
SECRET PAL: Please remember that Secret Pal starts tomorrow. Here is the breakdown, one more time. Please read through it carefully.
On Tuesday, December 18th, the kids will have to make a Happy Holidays or Happy New Year's card for their Secret Pal. Please put some time into this and do your best work. I can provide any paper or art materials.
On Wednesday, December 19th, the kids will have to make a snack for their Secret Pal. The snack should consist of a food and drink item.
On the Thursday, December 20th, the kids will have to bring in a wrapped gift for their Secret Pal (less than $10).
**ALL ITEMS SHOULD BE LABLED AS FOLLOWS:
TO: SECRET PAL’S NAME
FROM: YOUR SECRET PAL
The goal is to give hints of who you are but to keep your identity a secret. On the last day each kid will try and guess who their Secret Pal was. I hope everyone has fun with it.
