Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a great and safe winter break! Last Thursday and Friday the students finished reading Dragonwings by Laurence Yep or Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr. Both books were captivating reads which lead the students to exceptional discussions.

This week the students will begin reading various books surrounding the Civil War and slavery for literature circles while we are studying the Civil War and slavery in Social Studies. I anticipate the next few weeks of content to be extremely interesting and thought provoking.

In addition, the students will continue to practice their word work spelling strategies and review similes, metaphors, and idioms.
