Weekly Letter

January 25, 2008


Dear Parents,


We have had a fine week. Our class has finished our colonial unit. This means we have completed our posters and brochures. We made posters that show how they survived which had a food, clothing, and shelter area. We also created brochures that told about what it was like in our colony. You can look at the brochures on our blog. The class as also been studying how to combine sentences and how to use quotation marks. We made cartoons to help us learn where quotation marks go. Next week we will use our cartoons to write a story that has quotation marks in it. Finally we have continued learning about finding main idea. We are reading poems and finding the main idea in them. Now you have learned about our week and it should be obvious why it was so wonderful.


Sincerely


Your Little Person

PS. Keep studying facts. Your student has a new packet that shows what strategies they need to work on
