Weekly Update

Reader's Workshop:

We had a special packaged delivered during our 4th grade community meeting on Monday! In this package students found some penguins and our next interactive read aloud of the year: Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater. This week students learned routines for interactive read alouds during reader's workshop. Students made new goals for the next 6 weeks of reader's workshop. Ask your child what they are tracking to increase their understanding of the story!

This Tuesday students excitedly participated in their Puff Mobile race, the culminating activity for our Puff Mobile project.
