Dear Families,
The RiverRun
Community Council is having a Tomie
dePaola month throughout December.
To introduce his stories and illustrations to the primary and lower
elementary classes, we each had a one- on-one story time with our partner.
Throughout the rest of December, we will meet about once a week with our
partners to help them create one of their very own Tomie DePaola stories. We
also have been finishing up and typing our compare
and contrast essays for our parent education night on December 14. Debbie
worked with each of us on revisions and to make sure our grammar and spelling
is correct.
Emma
and Abi sent out Taco Tuesday
ingredient\permission slips and have gotten a great response. Almost
everyone wants a taco! GO TEAM TACO! J
We
have been practicing our fluency in
writing about once a week. We practice our fluency by getting a topic from
Debbie, such as, “Your biggest fear is… (or) The color blue reminds me of… Then we each have to try and write a whole
page about the topic while being timed. When everyone is done, you have a
chance to read your fluency page if you’d like. When we did the topic of what
your biggest fear is, we got into a really in-depth conversation about being
home alone and being afraid of the dark. We barely noticed it was time to go
home.
