Students are at various points in their stories. As you read with your children, please focus on the beginning. How are authors "hooking" readers? What strategies could kids use in their work? Students are typing their stories and are editing their beginnings. At this point, the bulk of students have created truly impressive introductions!
Social Studies is going very well. Just to remind everyone, the students are creating a textbook of their own as they paraphrase digital and textbook content and re-write it in their own words. Some of the students are exceeding expectations as they explore their questions further through independent work. They are also making interesting and unique connections between our country and Peru.
Upcoming Dates and Events:
-Pictures due on May 20th
-Social Studies paragraphs are due tomorrow
-Quest Theatre starts next week
-No school Friday (PD) or Monday (Victoria Day)
Question of the Day:
Write an engaging story starter that begins with an action.
