Hey Folks,
Here is what we have going on in room 20: our weekly DOL (Daily Oral Language), Chapter 5: China (we're finishing it up), and we will begin a new genre in Reading. The kids decided on autobiography, so that is what we're going to do. I told the kids today that we are going to keep doing our daily writing prompts, but we are also going to extend them and start writing papers as a regular thing. I know they don't like it, but it is a talent each of them must possess to be successful in their future education. We read 20 pages a night, every night, so that is not something I should ever have to remind them of. We haven't decided on what we are doing for our book report project yet, but I think it is going to have something to do with Author's Purpose. Our next move in geography will be into the world of Ancient India. remember, school will be out before we know it so keep working hard.
Seeya,
Mr. Walsh
