Reading
We have been working hard analyzing our characters in books that we read. We've discussed character struggles and how characters change in our stories. We will be finishing up our unit this week with the importance of secondary characters in our books.
Our 3rd grade classes will be watching Because of Winn-Dixie on Thursday to compare and contrast the book to the movie. This will conclude our unit on characters.

Writing
Our students have been working on writing their second personal narrative. I'm so proud of all their hard work. This week we will be concentrating on editing and revising our narratives.
They will be working with their writing partners to perfect their stories.

Spelling/Grammar: 
Our spelling and grammar units will begin again on Monday! :)

We took our Social Studies test on Friday to assess students' knowledge of Geography of Michigan. The tests will be coming home this week. I am very impressed with how well the students did on this test.
