Brrr! It's cold outside! Please remember to send your child in warm, weather appropriate clothing. I will do my best to remind them to put their gear on to go outside.

Our Crew could really use some tissues. We would appreciate any tissue donations you might be willing to offer. Thanks!

We have started a new genre study in writing...acrostic poems. Ask your child what he or she knows about acrostic poems. Here is a website your child can use at home to practice writing acrostic poems.

In reading, we have been learning how to decide what's important while we read and what's unimportant but interesting. While you are reading with your child at home, stop every now and then and talk about what they think is important. It's also a good idea to share with them what you think is important and why.

Don't forget Student Led Conferences are this week. See you soon!
