What we've been doing and important information...

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that it has been over a week since I last posted an update on our blog- I am sorry!! Since our scare with Tropical Storm Fay, we have returned to class and have been working hard!
In Readers Workshop, we have discussed purposes for reading and ways to become better readers. We have also reviewed our 30 book goal (Reading Standard 3- Reading Habits), signed contracts, and started filling our books logs with the wonderful chapter books that we have finished.
In Writers Workshop, we learned how everyone has a story to tell, and no two stories are the same! We brainstormed and wrote about our favorite things. Some wrote about pets, others wrote about sports.

Important Information:

• Open House is tomorrow night (8/28) at 6:30. Both Mrs. Batycki and Ms. Beshany's homerooms will be meeting in Portable 208. We hope to see you there!
• If you have not already returned all the forms in the white Beauclerc folder that went home on the first day of school, please do so immediately.
• Homework in my class for this week only consists of reading for 25 minutes every night. What a great way to work towards meeting our "30 books read" goal! We will have more to our homework beginning next week.
• Please encourage your students to always follow the rules and directions!
