Weekly News: Week 6

Kindness Week was a huge success! Students worked on "Random Acts of Kindness" all week long, looking for ways to help one another. On Thursday we had our Kids Against Hunger event, which was absolutely amazing. All the students in the school had a helping hand in packing thousands of meals.  Our class reflected on how meaningful it was for them to be part of such a wonderful event.

In Reader's Workshop we started book clubs. The students are in small groups of 4 to read and discuss new novels. We've only been going for a couple of days but the students are already making great connections to their books.

On Wednesday we took the Module 1 test, which should be in your student's Friday Folder. Today we started Module 2, which is a much longer module. We will be in this module for awhile. Make sure your students use the video resources if they are feeling stuck.

Also, if you haven't seen the videos that Eagle TV is producing, check out the YouTube channel, HERE. This club has 4th and 5th graders filming, editing, and producing all its content.
