Dear Parents and Guardians,
It sure has been exciting to take the students to the IMC the last few weeks. Many of our students are very excited about being able to check out books they can read on their own! While it is fantastic to listen to your child read, please remember that reading to your child is still just as powerful, as the vocabulary they can't quite read in more difficult picture books is just what they need to help them grow as a reader.

In writing, we continuing to work on fairy tales. We are currently working on a class fairy tale in community writing, and the students are writing their own fairy tales during writer's workshop. Last week we focused on mapping out our stories and writing a solid beginning to our stories. This week the students will work on stretching out characters' actions, using more vivid verbs, telling what their characters said using speech bubbles or dialogue within their text and showing how their characters felt.
This week in math we will look for tens and ones patterns on the number grid, work on adding and subtracting tens, work with number grid puzzles. We will also be adding a few new buddy games and by myself games to our math centers!
