In reading this week we are focusing on the essential question: what choices are good for us? We will focus on the skills of asking and answering questions, author's point of view, and root words. In writing this week we are starting our fictional narratives.

Miss Stapleton will be with us on Wednesday to observe and get a feel for the classroom. I am down to 3 weeks until my due date. I could very well make it to my due date, but I could also go into labor at any time. Everything is ready for Miss Stapleton and I think she will do an awesome job!
Coming up on Monday, February 4th we have a field trip up to the Rocky Mountain College hanger at the airport. This field trip aligns with our PLTW science unit on flight. We will be going from 8:30-10:15. A permission slip will come home in Tuesday folder this week.
Please make sure your kiddo is reading EVERY night at home for at least 15 minutes (and reading a chapter book at their level). Reading every night is so important to the reading growth of your child and I know we all want to see that!! Thank you for all your support at home!
