Hamlet

Students began their day writing a unit test to show what they understand about multiplication and division.

In language, students continued working on list 14 spelling words. They also wrote a friendly letter to show what they understand about letter writing.

We spent the rest of our class time working on our story telling unit. Students are at various stages of the writing process: writing a revised second copy, editing, typing a good copy, writing about the author, and illustrating a good copy.

Mr. Fluffy spent some time with students during lunch time today. Everyone was thrilled at the opportunity to hold him.

 

We ended the day with a sneak preview of the grade 5-8 dress rehearsal of Hamlet. We all enjoyed the performance. Please invite family and friends to this evening's performance at 7 pm. It is free.

Students are bringing home a Polar Expressions Writing Competition entry form. Students need only complete their personal information and sign the form. We will complete the rest of the form at school. Students will select one of their writing pieces from the storytelling unit to submit to the competition. Students are also bringing home a letter regarding Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please look for these letters in your child's agenda.
