Last week we ended weekly sight word homework. These packets will no longer be coming home. I do encourage you to continue to practice any words on the word ring that your child has trouble identifying. The reading homework will continue for a few more weeks as well as Math homework.
This Thursday I will be attending the Literacy for All conference in Quincy ( I will get to listen to Lucy Calkins present!) so I will not be in school.
The students continue to work hard in their book clubs. I am impressed with the discussion that takes place within the clubs. Students are learning to find important vocabulary words related to their topic as well as important facts. They are learning that they can find factual information within fictional books. They will present their posters this week and then students will begin in new book clubs.
We are working hard in our poetry unit and the students are loving writing poems. They are learning that poems can be about anything and that poems need "music". We will be having a poetry celebration in May. More information will be coming!
Here are a few pictures of recent activities!
