Hello Parents,
This week there will not be a story with Family Times, however, students will still have vocabulary and spelling for the week. Students will be writing a Legend for their Performance Task, for homework as well. We began this in class, by reading How Night Came From The Sea. Students need to complete the Graphic Organizer provided for the story and their own legend that they write. Beginning on Monday, September 26th, students will begin their 2nd PAR Assessments, and so we are going to be addressing the skills that they do not understand.
