Dear Parents,
We have had a super short week this week because of the New Year Holiday so not a lot of time to cover a lot of material.
We did read a story called "Arthur Writes a Story". Arthur is an aardvark that some kids recognized from story books or cartoons. In the story Arthur's teacher tells the class to write an interesting story. Arthur immediately decides to write about how he got his dog, Pal. Every time he reads his story to someone he changes his mind and his story. Arthur becomes more worried each time he changes his story and by the end, his story makes no sense. His teacher asks him to tell his original story about his dog. Everyone likes this story much more than his silly one. This story helps the students understand that they should do things they believe in and not worry about what others think. This was a long story with lots of new vocabulary so it took a while to get through it.
Due to the short week the students do not have to do their student journals this weekend. We will continue with them next weekend.
We also talked about New Year's Day and what students will do for the holiday. I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend and a wonderful New Year!
All the best,
Teacher Andy
