Writing

We are starting an Opinion Unit in writing.  This unit will have students reflecting on their reading, writing letters to others to recommend books, and helping them be able to build reasons for their opinions. 

Reading

We are also starting a new unit in reading.  This next unit helps students dig into series book clubs.  Students will work with peers to converse and grow their knowledge about the books they are reading.  We will also work to stick with a series to get to know the characters and use what we know to be able to predict what will happen.

I want to encourage you students to continue reading 20 minutes a night.
