I was out of the classroom yesterday due to my daughter being sick. When I returned this morning to a wonderful note from the guest teacher, I was so proud of your children. The sub wrote a note to me and on that note she stated, "This is by far the best classroom I have been in this year! I would love to come back any time you need me." I was so relieved, so proud, and so excited to share this news with the students. Even though I was bummed to miss a pool school day, I was so glad that the day went smoothly. It helps knowing things are running smoothly when I am home with a very sick 3 year old. We are going to celebrate this exciting news with a frisbee fight!! If you are not familiar with our frisbee fights, ask your child what they are all about! The poster (from Really Good Stuff) that hangs in our room. We have been using and referring to this poster as we read the autobiography Author: A True Story and the paragraphs that we edit every week. Ask your child what P.I.E. stands for. Hopefully, you will be told that the P stands for persuade. The I stands for inform and the E stands for entertain. What was the purpose of our letters to Mr. Henderson? What was the purpose of our fables? Ask your child about the author's purpose as different texts and stories come home. Every night as your child does his/her reading homework, ask what the author's purpose is for the book that is being read. It's as easy as pie!
