This shortened Thanksgiving week, students will be using their creativity, reading and writing skills to put some Thanksgiving related articles together. We will also be using this time to work with students needing extra support and enrichment on finding meaning of unknown words. As always, students will also be doing independent reading in class.
Just as a quick reminder, students should have a book to read and earbuds to assist with our learning in reading. Thank you for seeing that your student has these items each day !!
