Hello, I would like to introduce myself and let you know I am excited to be working with your child in Language Arts and Reading. Mrs. Mastny and I spent a few days together in class, prior to the birth of Jonathan, and the transition has been quite smooth. I am eager to work with your child and encourage your child to be successful in Reading and LA.

Language Arts: Your child has been working in class this week on an expository writing assignment. Rough drafts will be due on Monday and the final, typed assignment will be due next Friday, Feb. 18th. Please ask your child if they can share their drafts with you. We will take time next week in class to prepare for the ISATS.

Reading: We will continue reading the novel, The Wanderer, written by Sharon Creech. Ask your child about the novel, they are really enjoying the book and the discussions in class have been very rewarding.
Book Report Project- due Feb. 25th.
(50 points; a greeting card and 2 paragraph report)

Have a wonderful weekend, and please contact me if you should have any questions.
