Daily 4... what is it?

Picture
Everyday as a class we will strive to improve our literacy skills by doing 4 out of 5 activities: listening to reading, reading to self, reading to someone, working on writing and working on words. We will practice reading to our selves using our own A.R. levelled books, reading to someone to practice reading aloud, working on writing to help us practice how to form our ideas and share our messages with the world and working on words to help us improve our spelling, word meaning knowledge and vocabulary! 
PHEWF! We are going to be busy! 

FRIENDLY LETTERS 

SANTA LETTERS

Time to write to Santa!

Santa would like to remind the young and young-at-hearts about a few golden rules:
  • Don’t forget your H0H 0H0! Santa’s North Pole Post Office has the best postal code!
    Santa Claus
    North Pole H0H 0H0
    Canada
  • Please include your return address. While Santa knows where your house is, his postal team may need extra instructions, so please include your address to ensure your letter is delivered on time.
  • Postage is nice, but not necessary. You don’t need to add a stamp, but Mrs. Claus loves to see stickers.
  • Send it soon. Send your letter by December 16 to make sure Santa has enough time to read it and respond to you!

Personal Narratives?!!

Picture
What is a Personal Narrative? A true story about a personal memory. The best stories come from our most important memories. A personal narrative could tell about something that has happened to a person. For example, “The Most Unusual Day of My Life.”
