Sock it to drugs!

It is red ribbon week. All week there is a special theme each day. Today was "too smart for drugs." Kids and teachers wore their favorite college tshirts.

Tomorrow is "sock it to drugs." Wear your craziest socks to school tomorrow. Did you know I have a collection of crazy socks?

If you see this before school tomorrow, vote on which pair of socks you think I should wear by leaving a comment! The one or two with the most votes will be the ones I wear!

Words

These are the two charts both classes made today. Practice reading these words!

Stories

We have been reading wonderful stories and identifying: characters, setting, beginning, middle and end.

After reading with your child, ask them to identify those parts of the story.

The following pictures were taken today while the children were writing down the characters and setting. You can use the photo of my chart to see how I taught the students to do it.
