Dear Families,

    Good Afternoon! We have one final round of Civil Rights books due this week. We will conclude this project this coming Friday. Please ensure that your student continues to read their AR novel for this month! We are working on finishing these sooner rather than later in the month.

    I did want to note that we are continuing our class novel! At times, I will assign only one chapter for the students to read out loud or to an adult at home. This is a fabulous novel, but there certainly are some difficult vocabulary words. Every time a chapter is assigned, the student will be asked to bring home their novel sheet and get it signed. The novel sheet will be kept in their three ring binder (so it does not get lost!) Thank you so much for your help with this!

    We do have spelling words for this week. Students will receive these words (hole-punched) as well as their vocabulary words tomorrow in the morning on their desks! These words are third grade high frequency words. Some of them are a review of words we have learned throughout this year!

    Our focus for this week is having a growth-mindset and a positive attitude. As a class, we struggled last week a bit with motivation and powering through an assignment or project even though it may be difficult at first! Having grit and experiencing difficulty is something that we continue to work through! Having a positive mindset certainly changes everything!

Warmly,

Miss Amoscato
