Sidney has been chosen for this honor because of the tremendous improvement that has been displayed in her writing. Each Friday students are required to write a paragraph using new vocabulary and/or figurative language. This paragraph is also required to have a main idea and supporting details. Sidney has not only been able to meet these expectations, but she has gone beyond the criteria, and has demonstrated some exceptional writing skills. Great work Sidney, please continue to blaze a trail of excellence!

2. ELA Parent Page to Help Prepare for Week 7 (Extension)
Dear Family Member:
This week our class will be focusing again on the important skills covered during the last five weeks. Here are some activities you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be reviewing and extending.
Read together a short fiction story from a print or digital book.
Write a few sentences together to summarize the story.
Ask your child to present the summary as a short speech to family members.
Before your child presents the speech, discuss this checklist.
√    Review your written summary. Does it clearly tell what happens in the story?
√    Stand up straight, and speak clearly and slowly.
√    Remember to smile.
Showing interest in your child’s reading, writing, and speaking will help his or her progress during the year.
