ELA- Students finished their Unit 2 inquiry project. Students were given the task to persuade a zookeeper to add a new animal to the zoo. Students researched facts and then wrote a persuasive letter to a zookepper explaining why the animal  should be added to the zoo, Students included a diagram of their animal. SO MANY skills were utilized to complete this project. Students should be very proud of their work!

Word Study- Understanding the syllable pattern of VCe ( vowel, consonant, silent e) is essential to our students tackling new words.
