We will have the MAC LAB in our classroom on Wed.-Fri. Students will do the final editing and proofreading of their Mixed-Up Files Mysteries. These will be displayed in the hall the following week. Also, students will do some research on the animal they choose for their persuasive writing. This is a fun writing project, and they are excited to get started on it.

Sign of the Beaver
We will begin reading this wonderful story of courage, determination, and friendship. The author is Elizabeth George Speare, and this story of survival and friendship between a young colonial boy and a Native American boy made Sign of the Beaver a Newberry Award Winning Novel. I look forward to sharing such a special story with your children! We will begin by reading Ch. 1-4. I will issue the books to the students upon their return from Christmas. Each student will have their own copy.
Have the best of holidays! May the New Year bring you peace and joy. I look forward to seeing you in 2011!
