More September Updates

Writer's Workshop: After spending the first few weeks mastering rituals and routines, we are now busy working on personal narratives. We are using a story map (that includes the elements of a narrative) as a graphic organizer for planning. We are also learning about the steps in the writing process.

Science: We are learning about SOUND! Students enjoyed making a "straw kazoo" and listening to the changes in pitch as we made the kazoos shorter. We've also covered textbook pages 407-415. Students should review these pages, along with the vocabulary from the lessons and their "review worksheets" to prepare for the upcoming Science test.
**Sound Assessment--Tuesday, September 21**

I look forward to seeing everyone at our Open House on Thursday evening!!

September is here...
