In reading we talked about Author's purpose: to entertain, to inform, and to persuade. A great place to see all three types is in the newspaper. I have been reminding students that if there is any opinion in the text at all it cannot be inform. To entertain is always fiction, and to persuade is trying to talk someone into buying something or believeing a certain way. Please continue to work on these concepts with your child.
Spelling take home task went home today. It is due on Friday since I forgot to pass it out yesterday.
Book orders are due by Friday. I will fix it online so that it is open until Friday as well.
Please start sending in your $20 for EarthWorks. If your child did fundraising for Scentsy they do not owe anything for this field trip. :) Thanks to those of you who participated.
Family night is this Thurs. We will be talking about state assessments. There will be pizza provided.
I want to say a BIG thank you to the parents who came in and helped with Kansas Day and the ones that have been helping me in the classroom! I really truly appreciate it!

Our skill this week is proofreading.
Students are routinely asked to check their work for errors. The take home task is a great practice for each of our weekly skills. It is also related to our skills test each week. Write something for your child to proofread and correct errors.
