It was a very busy and fun week! We had a lot of fun coming up with a "lucky" Red Sox handshake at morning meeting on Wednesday. Obviously the Red Sox won because of our lucky charm! :) (It was fun to think that was the reason anyway!)
The kids did an awesome job with their Character Costume Book Reports. They were so excited to get into character. After each of them shared their speech, they handed out a "Kids Choice Award....Character Costume Book Report Edition" to each speech that they listened to. We got to witness some thoughtful and kind comments about each character.
We also got to learn about sensory details. Sensory details are specific words that we can add to our personal narratives to make them more exciting to read. The kids got to visit some different stations including the "gak" station. They got to make a sticky, rubbery mixture and write down some adjectives about what they were observing with their senses. We took all of these words and created a list that we can refer to when we are writing.
Earlier in the week we wrapped up our adventure across the Northeast. Next week, the kids will begin science with Mrs. Leger. They will learn about Rocks and Minerals through lots of fun, hands-on experiments.
On Thursday a note was sent home explaining the new homework assignment. Your child brought home their personal narrative story. They need to write the final copy of this story. If for some reason your child didn't finish writing their story in school, they need to finish it on their own. Like the notice stated, it is very important that your child finish this independently. The final copy needs to be returned by next Thursday, November 7th. We will have our writing celebration that day. Thank you for your support with this.
I hope you have a great weekend!
~Mrs. Lewis
