Baby Pictures Needed!
Baby Pictures Needed!
We have a Valentines Party Activity called "Guess That Baby" where students will get to see baby pictures of their classmates and they try to guess who it is. We need your help by sending in a cute digital baby picture. Pictures where your child is between the ages of 6 months-2 years work great. We will display the baby pictures in a slideshow during our Valentines Party on Friday February 13th. Please email the picture to your child's homeroom teacher by Friday February 6th. Thank you in advance for your help!

Next week: We will begin Module 7: Tricksters and Tall Tales. This unit will focus on central idea, figurative language and character development. We will be writing imaginative stories and continue working on our RACES strategy.
