Upcoming Dates & Read in the Dark!

Students are learning what techniques authors use to introduce and elaborate on a struggle in text. We are practicing using the inspiring stories of Lauren Hill and Erica Powell. They will be assessed on this skill on Monday, November 24. View the rubric for this assessment here or on the homework page. If your child will not be in school on Monday, please have them check in with me to make up their assessment after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Read in the Dark!

On Tuesday, November 25, students will participate in our annual Read in the Dark! Rooms will be darkened and students will bring a flashlight or back lit reading device, curl up with their favorite book, and relax! We have permission for students to wear pajamas on that day, and they may also bring a favorite (small) blanket, pillow, or stuffed animal. Any items brought must fit into their locker.

This is an event enjoyed by all and even the administrators are likely to pop by with their favorite book to have a break with the kids for a few minutes!
