We had a great presentation from DTE yesterday! Your child should have brought home an energy kit last night. There was also a paper that came home with it called Home Energy Worksheet.
Students have two weeks to complete this worksheet and bring it back to school. It will be due on November 11th.
Students receive a color changing pencil and a certificate for bringing this back. If 80% of students return the worksheet, our classroom gets $100!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Here is a look at our week:
ELA/Writing: In reading, we are learning about summarizing fiction text. Reading Groups have been formed and I have been meeting with groups last week. Please look for a bag coming home with your child’s name on it. I will be sending book bags with our books for the week- please make sure they come to school everyday!! They can be used for reading 25 minutes at home because they will be at your child’s reading level. In many books, there are also comprehension questions in the back of the book. Practice asking those questions to your child when they are done reading the book. ** Please remember to have your child bring the book bags to school daily- we also use them in our reading groups.** In writing, we are publishing our personal narratives on KidBlog. We are also providing feedback to our peers. Once blogs are published, I will share the stories with you!
