4th Grade News.....

It was a short week but all our Book Clubs finished their novel and took their A/R test. We are thoroughly enjoying getting together and discussing the characters and events in our Book club novels. Isn't it a fun way to learn and practice our reading skills and strategies? Are you wondering what novel will be next?

We weren't able to start our writing pieces on our "interesting" character yesterday because of our Thanksgiving Bash. We will start next week. We also will be discussing different ways to "CLOSE" our writing. Before the Winter Holidays, we will start to talk about FCAT-type writing. We are developing some AWESOME writers in Rm 130!

It was so wonderful to see so many parents at our Thanksgiving Feast! Thanks to all who helped provide the delicious food. We are so lucky to have you in Rm 130.

I have many blessings in my life. I have a wonderful family and many wonderful friends. I am most especially thankful for my students. YOU make every day special! Thanks for sharing them with me, Mrs. Ryan & Mrs. Ross.

Have a wonderful holiday...

Love you...... Mrs. P

Hmm.... Look what mysteriously appeared in Rm 130.....

5th Grade News.....

It was a very short week, but we still found time to read several chapters in "Milkweed". Things are changing fast for Janina and Misha. Have you noticed how they are also changing as characters, especially Janina? Trent had a very perceptive observation.... he said that Janina is starting to have a breakdown. I can't imagine how I would react if I was living in the Ghetto with the Milgroms. As much as I don't want to.... we should be able to finish the novel before the Winter Holidays. There's even more to come that will touch your heart. This novel will change you!

Be sure to check out my 4th Grade News to see what happened to the "Golden Skate".....

This weekend is a time to think of all of our "Blessings" and what we are thankful for.... I have a wonderful family and will spend a lot of time with them.... but I am also very blessed to have you in my life. I thank Mr. G and Mrs. Hartless for sharing you with me.

Have a wonderful holiday....

Love you.... Mrs. P
