Units begin

We completed each text type - one for each week of school! Yahoo! Now the fun begins when we explore each text type or structure in depth. We will begin with narrative text and problem/solution text structure with the story RIkki-Tikki-Tavi from our basal reader. This story and other fairytale, folktale stories will correlate with the Social Studies International Fair in October.
In writing we will begin figurative language. There will be a host of exciting writing and technology projects with figurative language. Be on the look out in the hallways and classrooms, or some posted on the web:)
Looking forward to visiting with you next week and parent teacher conferences!

September beginnings!

Reading and studying the different types of text structures are in full bloom:) We've covered technical reading, the first District Common Assessments, and now narrative text. Looking ahead to persuasive and expository yet this month.
Also I wanted to remind you about the upcoming Prairie Book Festival, Saturday, Sept. 25th from 10-4 at the Hutchinson Public Library Campus. Many enlightening authors and contests will be available. Please check out the website

We are working on typing our first draft and then revising our Moment in Time writing piece. Everyone is on BuhlerDocs now. My students can work on their writing via the PHMS website now! Oh joy!!!!!!
