It is definitely a chilly ending to the week! Be sure to bundle up this weekend!

We had another great week in RtI Reading, too, where we read another great Reader's Theater play and have even begun to write our own! A few pictures of our week are included below!

It has been another productive week in Room 106!

In Language Arts, we are in the middle of writing our persuasive papers. We have chosen our topics, researched, and began writing our body paragraphs throughout the week. Next week, we will write our introductions and conclusions and finalize our papers.

In Reading, we have begun our second novel of the year, "Trouble River". Since this book has a similar setting and characters to "Sign of the Beaver", which we read earlier this year, we have, and will continue to, compare and contrast the characteristics between both books.

Enjoy your 3-day weekend!

As we wrap up the end of 2010 and enter into the new year, we should all take time to reflect upon our school work so far and set new goals for ourselves!
