We Are Learning...
Reading
This week in reading we talked about how readers grow in longer fiction books. We used some the strategies learned earlier in our year and dug deeper into understanding how we can use these with longer books. The strategies we talked about this week were sneak peak, making predictions, and retelling.
Writing
This week in writing we began to uncover our opinions about the books we have read. Students picked books that had their favorite characters and books of which they were the most familiar. They then used events from the text and pictures from these books to form opinions about their favorite characters. Students then wrote letters to other readers to persuade them to read their favorite books.

Library Volunteers
Library volunteers are needed to help with shelving and checking in books in our TCE Library. Volunteering in the library is fun and the schedule is flexible! If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to Mrs. Hopper, TCE Librarian (lhopper@hse.k12.in.us).
*A safe visitor background check is required for all school volunteers. For more information on background checks, visit https://www.hseschools.org/services/other/school-safety/visiting-and-volunteering.
