Week Four

So long September!
Here are some events to look out for this first full week of October:

* Behavior sheets will be completed for boys this Friday. These reports are on the back of the green sheets in the homework folders. Please continue to sign the homework sheets and check off assignments as they are done.

* We will begin new literacy units. In Reading, we will continue to read fiction with an eye towards Character Study. By examining a character's arc, we hope to create a deeper understanding of the themes in a book. The weekly reading log will reflect the shift in focus. In Writing, we will begin writing Personal Essays. The goal is to develop better paragraph writing and familiarity with the five paragraph essay structure. Children will also learn how to make thesis statements and use appropriate supporting evidence.

Have a sunny weekend! :)
