Peek at the Week of January 30-February 3

  • We are very excited to find out the groundhog's weather prediction about winter.
  • Sports Day:  This Friday is "Sports Jersey Day".  So get into the Superbowl spirit and wear your favorite sports gear.
  • Reading Workshop:  We will continue our non-fiction unit of study.  This week we will do an author study on Gail Gibbons' books.  She is a writer who has published many non-fiction books.
  • Writing Workshop:  Monday will be "D Day"  (aka Decsion Day).  Each child will select their best/favorite "How To' book to publish.  The selected topic will then be revised (add on to make it even better), edited (checking for full sentences/capitalization/ending punctuation) and then published (full color illustrations and our BEST handwriting).
