Week of Jan. 20-24

• I hope everyone had a great weekend!
• We finished our read aloud on Friday.  Kensuke's Kingdom was a hit!  The students started brainstorming for their storyboards on Friday.  This will be due on Friday, Jan. 24 and I suggest that the students are taking it home each night.  There are 8 boxes in which the students will be picking the most important events to retell the story.  We talked about putting as much effort into box 8 as in box 1.
• Grade 5 math will be finishing their quiz on Monday.
• Continue to read 20 min. each night.
• There will be a used book sale on Wednesday and Thursday this week.  Students can purchase books for 25 cents, 50 cents, and one dollar.
• Have a great week everyone!
