UMAC Newsletter- November 13, 2015
Dear UMAC Families,
On Wednesday, Woods Creek had a special Veteran’s Day Assembly. Our school invited veterans to be honored at a special assembly! Each grade level gave a short presentation, several veterans shared moments from their years of services, and Mr. Muehling led our school in a variety of patriotic songs. Our students were able to learn something new while giving thanks to our special guests. Please check out our Homeroom App for pictures!!
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

Shared Reading
Shared Reading- This week as we read a narrative non-fiction text titled, Everglades Forever, we learned about author bias. Our learners learned that this means that an author may choose to use his/her bias to justify their opinion within narrative nonfiction text. We were so proud of how our students learned how to find bias within their guided reading texts. Be sure to ask your child how we discussed that an author uses author bias by sharing their opinion and/or preference which may prevent the reader from having a neutral point of view throughout our stories this week..
