Hello Class!!
Another exciting week of learning is before us!
Special Events: Picture Day is on Wednesday. Looking forward to Valentine's Day, we need you to bring an empty rectangular tissue box for valentine's. So start blowing your nose!!
Reading: We are reading a non-fiction passage about coral reefs focusing on the skill of compare and contrast. We will be using a venn diagram to help us plot information as we read. Remember your reading goal of two books per week: one fiction, one non-fiction and two AR tests.
Writing: Two weeks left before we shine on our Florida Writes!! We have been talking about voice or "personality" when we write. We want our writing to be a reflection of who we are.

Week of January 20-23
Hello Class!!
I hope you had a wonderful day off of school in rememberance of MLK!!
We only have 3 Weeks until our Florida Writes!! It is time we take what we have learned and apply it to our writing!!
This week at a glance:
In our writing, we will look at transition words, voice and how to score our writing.
In Reading, we have a vocabulary and comprehension quiz on Wednesday. The vocabulary words are: obedience, risks, appreciated, desperate, bluffing, endured, misunderstood, and neglected. The comprehension quiz will be based on Cause and Effect.
The new skill we will look at this week is Compare/Contrast.
I hope you are looking forward to this week as much as I am!

Happy New Year!!!!!
I have just returned from a two week working vacation on the Ruby Princess cruise ship. I was able to cruise in the Caribbean and visit Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Grand Cayman Island and Cozumel, Mexico.
In Jamaica, I swam with a dolphin named Rosa who had an amazing personality. I touched her back and belly and gave her a big kiss!
In Grand Cayman, I went to a turtle farm and held a four month old turtle...priceless!!
I must say it was hard not having internet for two weeks, I would have loved to blog the whole time but such is sea life.
Blog about your vacation time and if you have any stories from our homeless bags.
Can't wait to see you on Tuesday!
Ms. Kelley
