Candy Maker by Wendy Mas

Prompt: Describe a character.


Logan was a character in "The Candy Maker" by Wendy Mas pages 1-20 Logan is only one of the four characters in the book. The main idea about logan is that he is the candymakers son and is waiting to own the life is sweet candy factory. for example he says "every morning his father and mother made him cinnamon covered oatmeal. another example is I cant wait to make candy" as you see Logan cant wait to own his fathers factory.

Praise! Nice job using evidence from the story.

Push! Pay attention to grammatics.

Attendance UPDATE

The realistic goal is to have less than 5% chronically absent, but ultimately 0%. Chronically absent is defined as being out 10% of the days in school. This data impacts our STAR rating. Currently, we are at 15% chronically absent. Currently, we have the top 40 schools of all RI schools. Keep up the great work!

Ready to Learn

First Grade: First Graders are wrapping up their reports and poster on our animal. The kids have enjoyed researching and sharing out. In Fundations, they are presently working on our glued sounds; ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, and unk. They are learning to recognize, read, and write words with these sounds. In math, they are completing doubles, doubles plus one, doubles plus two, and number comparison. Finally, they continue to read decodable texts and books that are just right for enjoyment.


Is your child not in First Grade? Check back next week. Every week a different grade gets a turn.
