We are still working hard on our author letters this week. Our goal is still to have them ready to mail on Friday, November 11. I had a student ask me about postage and envelopes for the letters. I will take care of both. :) I can't wait to get them in the mail at the end of this week.
Starting next week, we will be preparing to begin book clubs. I am hoping we can learn from each other during our book clubs. It is always enlightening to hear their conversations about their books. They become really responsible and hold one another accountable for their reading assignments.

November 9th-End of Trimester 1, AR goals end for Trimester 1
November 10th-Teacher workday-No students
November 11th-Veteran's Program @ 1:00 anyone can attend!
November 11th-Mail author letters
November 14th-Discuss Book Clubs and make top 3 picks

Where has the time gone?
I can't believe it is already November and I am finally getting to my first post! The school year has been very busy! We have already finished Personal Narratives. We even shared our spooky stories on Monday! We did a good job adding the right amount of scary elements and humor too. I get the feeling some of the kids have written spooky stories before. :)
Right now we are working on writing our Favorite Author Letters. I can't wait to get them finished and in the mail. Then we all wait anxiously for a response letter, but once the letters get here it is all worth it.
Some of the things we have coming up in Language Arts:
November 9th-Trimester 1 AR Goals end.
November 11th-Author Letters should be ready to mail
November 14-Book Clubs begin
November 28-Students blog about their favorite books
We have a lot of exciting things taking place in the month of November and I will be more active in writing on our blog! Again, I apologize for the delay!
Remember if you have any questions feel free to email or call!
