Dear Families,

It's hard to believe this school year is coming to a close. Time flies when you're having fun! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support throughout the year. You helped make it a successful one for all of the students. Best of luck as your child enters 5th grade!

Reading: Students shared their Pourquoi Tales, which answers the question of “why” something came to be in nature. This week, they are reading different Pourquoi Tales in small groups to practice summarizing.

Writing: For letter “p” of the ABC countdown, students wrote Pet Peeve Poems. They had to include one pet peeve, one emotion, and use at least one element of poetry. They were cute and entertaining!

Rainey Review 5/13/10

Reading: Over the past two weeks, students have mastered the skill of fact and opinion. Next week, we will focus on the genre of pourquois. Students will read these tales and write one of their own to share with the class.

Writing: Students have been having a great time writing expository paragraphs. They turned their “how to” paragraphs into Mad Libs by omitting different parts of speech. After typing, they will be compiled into a Mad Lib book for each child to take home!
