Please make sure to check out the blog on the Slingerlands website for One School, One Book! The assembly on Friday was a lot of fun and students were excited to start reading Charlotte's Web with their families.

Writing
Students are continuing the informative writing unit. They are researching topics from the solar system. We have worked on tables of contents and will try out different structures this week.
