ELA & SOCIAL STUDIES
Dear Parents,
As we end the first month of school, we can look back at how much we have already accomplished!
In social studies we have finsihed our geography unit, and are starting to look at the background of how we became a country.
We had a chance to think about, and argue for what things we think are essential and needed in running a country, and what things we could do without, and would not want. The thoughts shared were thought provoking and deep.
In ELA we have been looking at techniques authors use to show characterization, and trying to employ these tchniques in our own writing, through the grammar constructs of dialogue. We look forward to sharing our stories next week.
Please make sure your child is reading a little every night, leading up to our big theme presentation!
Our newspaper staff, and student government representatives are in full work mode, working to make our school a better place, and to provide a voice for us all.
