Where did 2010 go?????? Well, welcome 2011 and to all the exciting things planned this semester. In reading we began the novel Steal Away Home. This novel ties in with Kansas History/Mrs. Siefkes lessons. I had the opportunity to meet the author last October at the State Reading Conference. She was a delight and just as vibrant as ever! The majority of the third quarter grade has to do with this novel, so we take our time covering it. We will also be taking practice formative tests on the KCA website to prepare for our March Madness-state assessments!
In writing classes we are continuing rainbowing, free-write piece, and other grammar skill lessons. My students will send their persuasive letters to businesses next Friday and will wait in anticipation for reading auction prizes! I will be sending a parent letter in late February about this BIG EVENT!
