*ELA Updates*

Students have finished their opinion writing pieces.  The due date was moved to yesterday, December 6th, due to some need in finishing up conferencing and writing final drafts.  This is only the beginning of their writing journey in 4th grade.  Please look for more writing pieces to come home for homework and revising rough drafts after Christmas break.

We have also started reading stories out of our Reading Street books and putting our knowledge of story elements (plot, theme, characters, setting, author's purpose, narrators' point of view, etc) to work.  If students bring home a Reading Street book for homework or reading purposes, please be sure they return to school with it the very next day.  We will be using these in class often.
