Happy new year! I hope that January is off to a good start for everyone. We have some great things ahead in English language arts for 2016. First, some news--we finally have textbooks! It took a lot of searching on the librarians' part, but they were able to find all of the textbooks and grammar handbooks. They were sent home with the students on Friday, so if your child is missing them please have them come talk to me.
Secondly, we are starting our Seedfolks town hall meeting speeches. The students will be writing and presenting speeches from the point of view of a character in Seedfolks. This week they will be working on their outlines, then they'll write their drafts and edit them next week. The final draft is due Friday, January 22nd. The students will be presenting their speeches Monday, January 25th-Thursday January 28th. Family members are very welcome to attend the town hall meetings. Just be sure to check with your child when they'll be presenting. Have a happy and healthy new year :-) Miss Kelly
