Picking a "Just Right" Book
What can we do to make sure that we grow as readers? How do we know if the books that we are reading are the best for our level? We talked about the five-finger rule of picking a "just right" book this week. Make sure you're picking "just right" books!

We are starting our next Writing unit: Poetry and Figurative Language. If you have any kid friendly poetry books, I would love to borrow them for the next three weeks. Please make sure they are clearly labeled with your child's name. Thanks in advance!

As students work through our science unit, they have shown great strides in accurately recording and demonstrating wonderful experiments. Science notebooks are a critical piece to our science studies. These notebooks integrate writing and scientific data collection and thought. Higher levels of thinking are required throughout all of our science units.

LITERACY
Dear Students,
This week we discussed opportunity cost during our time together in social studies. Please write a short story that shows me that you understand the concept of opportunity cost. Make sure that your story includes a main character, a choice with at least three options, and the final opportunity cost clearly identified.
