Highlights 

This week the students worked on a writing activity based on The Best Day Ever! They are very focused on their work with sentences and remembering that sentences have 2 parts (subject/predicate). They are also becoming more aware of proper capitalization and punctuation. This work will continue and we will begin working on using commas next week. We began our new unit in math. The students will be learning about collecting data and graphing the results from now until the winter break.
