Happy, happy Friday!!
Writing: In writing we finished up our first literary essays. The kids worked really hard to incorporate formal language and transitions in this piece. Next week we will begin writing a compare and contrast literary essay about about two characters from books we are familiar with!
Reading: We are using Number the Stars as a mentor text for our historical fiction book club book. This week we have been discussing how authors use different symbols and signals to let their reader know it is a good place to stop and talk/write. We have been practicing with our mentor text and will apply it to our book club books early next week!
This week we also began working on Genius Hour projects. This time of the day allows students to choose something that they are passionate about, research it, and then present it to our class in a unique way. We are just at the beginning stages of our projects but I am looking forward to seeing how everything comes together!
Upcoming Events:
5/9: BOGO Scholastic book fair
5/12: iDiscover with Grandparents-- 10:15-11:25
5/13: No school
Have an awesome weekend! Wishing all the moms a wonderful and relaxing Mother's Day!
Sincerely,
Miss DiFranco
