Welcome to Week 4! This week, we'll continue digging into our study of poetry.

We will also continue to work on independent reading and your writing goals and CallieKo Cats, you will be meeting your kindergarten reading buddies on Friday.

Important Reminders:

• Scholastic Book Fair this week! Please stop by, check out the selection of books, and make purchases!
• Humanities tutoring Tuesday from 3-4pm

It's been a great first 2 weeks getting to know each of you! We've shared personal items for our Circle Centerpiece mini project, set up writer's workshop (you even created your first formal writing piece!) , and continued reading independently.

This week, we will:

• Finish your letters by doing the final step of EMOWER (re-work). In this step, you'll use your critique to improve your writing.
• Take the MAP Reading Assessment
• Take pictures of your circle centerpieces and transfer them onto wood to keep in our class and use throughout the year
• Continue reading independently and writing your first book reviews
• Continue working toward writing goals

Important Reminders:

• Parent night is this Thursday, September 14 from 5-6pm

Welcome to Week 2! I had so much fun meeting and getting to know you last week. I'm so excited to continue learning about you and learning together this week. This week, we will focus on 2 main tasks: Writing and Circle Centerpieces. 

Writing
This week we will focus our class time on setting up our Writer's Workshop. We'll be using an approach to writing called EMPOWER, and this week will be dedicated to learning and practicing that approach with a writing assignment that will help me get to know you better. You'll also begin working on your individual writing goal that you set up last week.

Circle Centerpieces
Last week, Mr. Ko and I shared our circle centerpieces with you. This week, you'll get to share your circle centerpiece with our class. On the day that you signed up for, you should bring your object and the prep sheet. Be ready to tell us what you brought and why it's important to you. You'll only have about 1-2 minutes to share, so you'll have to keep it brief!

Here is the link to our slides and materials for week 2.

Reminders:
No School on Monday: Labor Day
X-Block starts this week! You'll have x-block on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Wednesday is a minimum day.
