Many thanks to all of you for attending the conferences! The entire staff enjoyed meeting and discussing your child. It is extremely important that we continue to communicate and focus on your child's goals.

In English this week we will be reading stories from our anthology and discussing elements of fiction. Your child will be challenged to begin thinking about how important it is to understand all aspects of a story and the importance of comprehending the theme of a story.

We will be exploring various leads in writing. Our focus will be on promoting "hooks" that really make the reader want to continue reading. The students will be asked to write a personal narrative story which could include humor, trips, or activities. The more time we can experience writing together as a group then the better we will become at achieving our goals.
