What are we learning?
Reading: Students participated in flash debates and group discussions this week. It was so neat to see them have focused conversations with others concerning their topics. We will be working on summarizing the two view points and building towards a larger debate.
Word Study: Students have the new word list. The test will be on Thursday, Feb. 2nd.
Your child will be reading nonfiction books/articles in class. Therefore, they will now be able to bring home their library book that is on their level for reading nightly.
