This week we will work on our family stories. Our family stories are narratives in which students are either re-telling a story that has been told to them by a close family member or they are writing about their own personal story. Each student is at a different stage in the writing process. Therefore, depending on where students are in the process, they will be doing something specific to their story's need.
We will also have some homework time and read an article from Achieve 3000.
Please ask your child to show you the story they are working on. Have them read it aloud. If they share the story with you, sign the paper I give them and they will be given PBIS points. 
Also ask them about their Lexile level and Lexile goal. If you sign the paper I give them regarding their Lexile and goals, indicating that you have seen it, I will give them PBIS points. 
Next week we will talk about artifacts and students will be asked to find an artifacts from their home and either describe it or take a picture of it to share.This is all part of their Family Heritage Project. 
Thank you,
