To honor Martin Luther King this week, our 4th grade buddies came in and helped us make a book about him. We read books and talked a lot about words we would use to describe this American Hero. Our buddies helped us come up with some good details. We also practiced new ways to greet our friends in the morning. 
Sight word notebooks were sent home today. When sight word sheets come home, encourage your child to add it to this notebook and practice these words at home. Sight words are words we can not sound out and they are common words we use a lot so we have to memorize them!
We also started our unit on Bears and Habitats. The children gathered in small groups and told stories of bear sightings. Then we looked through some interesting bear books and drew pictures of their habitats.
We are writing and reading a lot of non fiction stories these days. Ask your child about the things he/she is an “expert” about. We are writing these stories at school now just like real authors of “expert” books.
Happy long weekend!
