Welcome back!  We will be having a very busy three weeks before the holiday break.  I found out we have our writing assessment in March.  We will need to be working on typing at home and school.  When I find out more about it I will let you know, but anytime you can practice typing at home I would appreciate it.  It would be a great idea to give your child a prompt and have them write about it.  This prompt should be giving an opinion and an informational prompt.  For example, “In your opinion, which holiday is the best holiday?”  and “Write about why we celebrate Thanksgiving.”  We will be doing these things in class each week as well.  Thanks for all your help!
