Week October 15 to October 19

This week was very busy in our room. In reading we broke into groups to read stories from our hard-back reader. One group read about diver and his adventure with a family of dolphins. The other group read about two types of plants; carnivorous and flowering. Both groups worked on vocabulary and note-taking. Each group did an excellent job participating and reading aloud.
In language arts we broke into separate groups again to work on composition skills. One group worked on finding the main idea in a paragraph and creating topic sentences. The other group worked on forming narrative paragraphs into a full paper. This group had the privilege of writing letters to soldiers serving over seas. This was wonderful practice in writing and a nice chance to show our thanks to all the members of the armed forces. Have a great weekend!
