Chautauqua week is upon us and the children are giggly and nervous as can be!! We will be practicing every day, every chance we get! Please encourage them to continue to practice at home too, the more expression the better!
In Writing we are working on comparing two versions of the same story told from two different narrators. We are listening each story, and then taking notes on the narrative elements. We will then use a venn diagram to compare the elements from each story and identify their differences and their similarities.
Of course in projects, the Chautauqua rules our days! Please have their costumes to school by Wednesday morning so we can do a full dress rehearsal.
In reading, we are progressing through George Washington's Socks. The book is just now getting really good and I expect a few surprised gasps shortly. They are working really well in these new groups together. There will be no new vocabulary until after Thanksgiving. I think memorizing their Chautauqua is enough!
I sure hope to see all of you on Thursday! Immediately after we change from our Chautauqua's, we will enjoy a root beer float together so I have the chance to tell my little people how awesome they are!
One more thing! Please send back your child's permissions slip for Health and Wellness class. We start on Thursday and regardless of whether they participate or not, we need a slip for every student. Thanks so much!
