Sunday update

Quite a snowstorm!  I hope every one got outside to enjoy all that snow!  Please send in boots, mittens, ski pants etc. so the kids can enjoy the snow at school as well.  Due to the snow day, our spelling test will be Monday.  Also, we have gotten ahead of ourselves in Reading Streets, so this week will be a review week.  There will be no new spelling words.  We will be spending time improving our writing - reading like a writer to figure out how to write really well-crafted stories.  As I told the kids, now that they can write sentences with pretty good (or better) handwriting and spelling, it is time to move on to writing stories that include dialogue, "spicy" words, and details that will paint a picture in their reader's mind.  Don't forget:  Valentines due on Thursday, and 100 day is now Monday February 18th
