From Mr. Jason, our EL teacher -
Hi families!
The students who work with me will be working on writing a story, fiction or non-fiction, to increase their writing skills in preparation for 5th grade. The final product will be a book they create that they can take home. We will continue practicing other areas of language everyday too! As always, email me with any questions you have at jason.to@spps.org
Thank you!
