· My groups are reading Mr. Putter and Tabby Pick the Pears and Henry and Mudge Under the Yellow Moon. They are both by Cynthia Rylant. We are practicing TTQA (Turning the Question Around) to answer written questions in our reading response journals. We are also working on making connections.
In Science and Writing:

We had a nice Veteran’s Day Assembly this morning too! We sang a song called, “We Love Our Flag.” They did a nice job! :)
It was a fast week and we have a short week again next week too!
Teachers have PD on Monday and then Veteran’s Day is Tuesday, so I won’t see the students again until Wednesday, November 12th.
Have a great weekend!
-Mrs. Farrand :)
