November 18-22

"November is chill, frosted mornings with a silver sun rising behind the trees, red cardinals at the feeders, and squirrels running scallops along the tops of the gray stone walls."

Students began the day by rereading Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates to themselves or in partners. Then they responded to our Essential Question about the traits of a hero. I'm so impressed with the improvement I see in students' writing over the past few weeks. Their thoughts are more organized with text evidence to support their answers. 

We'll have our spelling test on Wednesday. Students have two more assignments due before then. We won't have another pretest until after Thanksgiving break. :)

Students will have a Home Link on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Please see their homework for the Daily Learning Objective. 

Students are excited about performing a Thanksgiving play in the classroom this week. We will do some other fun holiday activities throughout the week.

Have a fabulous week! :)
