Nonfiction
We are continuing to read a variety of nonfiction texts. Students are learning the purposes for and how to use graphic organizers to deepen comprehension of nonfiction texts. The graphic organizers we are learning include: KWL charts, Venn diagrams, T charts, and outlines.

Classificatory Writing
Students are learning about a new genre of writing - classificatory essays. A classificatory essay is a composition that explains the good and bad points about one topic. It can also explain the advantages and disadvantages about one topic. Students are pretending to live with one of the Native American tribes that we have researched. They are writing a classificatory essay explaining the good and bad things about living with that tribe.

Our Taste of Texas field trip on November 16th has been rescheduled. We will now go on February 23rd. This field trip does not involve chaperones, but we wanted to let you know the change.

Thanks!

On Tuesday we celebrated the 50th day of school!
