Reading Response Question for the Week of December 13- 17
This time of year is full of traditions for many families. Some of these traditions may even include reading! Some families might read a favorite story; some families may pull out favorite recipes to make; some families may spend many hours looking at instruction manuals for all of the new toys! There are tons of activities which involve reading! What kind of reading traditions does your family have? Ask your family for help and then let us in on your family reading traditions!

Would You Like to Join Us?
If you are interested in joining us for our upcoming field trip to Hunt Club to see the Winter Wonderland, please let us know as soon as possible. The cost is $9.00 per person which includes admittance and lunch (pizza). We are asking that parents meet us at Hunt Club to be ready for our tour which begins at 10:00 AM. We will eat lunch afterwards at the farm. At the conclusion of our trip, we will return to school on the bus. Or if you prefer, you may sign your child out and begin your winter holiday break a few hours earlier.

Reading Response Question for the Week of December 6-December 10
We have been talking about how authors often leave clues for us in stories that let us know how the character is feeling or what type of person he/she is. When you write, it’s important to leave clues for your readers as well. Rather than just saying that a character is sad, show your reader by the things your character says, does, or thinks. When your clues are good, it’s easy for us to guess how your character is feeling.
Try it! Think of a character who is feeling a certain way (you may use the paper I gave you that is in your binder for some ideas). Then write a few sentences that “show” us. We’ll see if we can guess! Read my sample to see an example of how to do this!
