Good afternoon!

We have had a busy and exciting week. This week the students started writing their personal narratives.  We talked and watched a quick video clip on the six components that make a piece of writing a personal narrative. They will continue working on writing their paper through January. Their final work will be on display at the Academic Fair open house on Saturday, January 28th.

The students also wrapped up their Ancient Egyptian unit with a test on Thursday. Please check and sign your child's test and then have them return it back on Monday.  The students began their STEM group activity on Friday. They will continue to work on making pyramids out of toothpicks, clay, and marshmallows Monday and Tuesday.

Do not forget that Monday is the Words their Way (spelling) Test and the packet is due.


Next week will be a short and quick week. I hope that everyone has a wonderful 5 day break celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends.  (Wednesday-Sunday)

Once we get back we will dive right into Ancient India, continue writing personal narratives, and work on learning more about verbs and adverbs.

Have a great weekend!
