Welcome Back, Welcome, Back, Welcome Back! I hope those of you who were fortunate to have some time off truly enjoyed it and found it to be a refreshing break as we transition into spring. May and June prove to be a whirlwind of a time. Between the end of the year testing, the need to thoroughly complete instruction, and all of the extra curricular activities that the students are involved in, June 16th will be here before we all know it. It is with all of this in mind that I ask that you help your child find balance with all that this time of year brings and to keep school and rest in the forefront.
Today, we started our persuasive writing unit. We discussed what the point of a persuasive piece is and then read two books that modeled an opinion piece. The 1st book was Dear Mrs. LaRue Letters from Obedience School and the other was Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Each book had the main character trying to convince the audience that events from the stories were not their fault. We will continue to read persuasive pieces and then transition into group writings before moving to individual pieces.
I hope you all have a great week.
Peace,
Tommy
