In reading this week:
Students read the story of Mr. Putter and Tabby. Today they were introduced to an essay assessment that will be given each week on the main story. Students were introduced to the format for writing an extended response answer to the essay. We did the essay together so it is not graded. In your child's folder you will find the essay along with a form that will be used in the future for grading.
In social studies this week:
We completed our first social studies unit called People and Places today. An extra credit assignment is in your child's folder. If kids want to work toward a grade of E in this unit of social studies they can complete the extra credit work. It is due next Friday. Here is a link to the assignment if an extra copy is needed.
