Thank you

Thank you to all the parents for coming to conferences this week. I really enjoyed talking about all the progress the children have made this quarter. I am so proud of them! They are working so hard and love school! 
I know some of you are interested in reviewing school concepts at home. Here is a list of the concepts we have been working on this past quarter. 

Writer's Workshop: 

• Writing a personal narrative (small moment story) across pages with a beginning, sequence words and an ending. 
• The students also need to remember correct capitals, spaces, ending marks, and spelling sight words correctly. 
• They also use their strategies to spell words: stretch it, go find it, and/ or circle it.

Our next unit is writing informational text. Stay tuned for more information.
