We will continue to have library on Monday so remember to bring your books back. 

This week we will be working on narrative text structure.  Eventually your child will be writing a story using this text structure.

Your child should have come home with a Flat Stanley or Flat Sara.  This is not a required homework activity, but is a fun one that makes a cute bulletin board.  Dress your Flat Stanley or Flat Sara in a fun Halloween costume and return as soon as possible.  Thank you Nikki Skadal for tracing all of them for me!

We have been working on Opinion Writing.  Your students have learned to write an opinion using the OREO principle.  This says that first you state your Opinion, second you give Reasons for your opinion, third you Explain those reasons, and you end stating your Opinion again.  Anytime you have a chance to have your students give an opinion, whether it is if they liked dinner, choosing a movie to watch, or what game to play, see if they can follow the OREO principle.  This will only help them learn how to gather their thoughts.  Thank you!
