Writing
We are using the power of the highlighter to edit our stories. Students use a highlighter to mark capital letters and ending mark.s
Buddies
Who doesn't love a game of jello-tag with our fifth grade buddies. It was hard not to run--we had to move in slow motion as if we were in jello!
Writing
Having the opportunity to share the stories we have written helps us double check to see if we have a beginning, middle, and an end to our writing.

Esme love bunny rabbits and loves to eat cookies. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up. She is pawsome at ballet and swimming.
Doggy Bag
1. There is a phonics packet in the Friday folder. It is informing you as to what we are doing in unit 2 as well as the tricky word wall words to practice and letter tiles to build words. After doing nightly reading, this would be a great opportunity to build words or look for
tricky words during your reading.
2. Headphones-If your child has a spare pair of headphones that they can leave at school that would be greatly appreciated. We have only one classroom set and Mrs. Schulte and I will be using chromes and Ipads at the same time for Lexia.
