Hello,

 

This week, students will be drafting their own informative essays. We have already written our introductions, outlining our entire essay. Students will have a five-paragraph essay by the end of this week.

Hello,

 

This week we will be discussing different types of text structures. We will be focusing on Cause/Effect and why an author would write a text that uses cause and effect.

Hello,

 

This week students will be focusing on theme/ central idea of a text. Students will also talk about character motives in a story, and how positive and negative endings add to their themes. Then this will incorporate those ideas into writing their own imaginative stories.

Hello,

 

Today we will be working on point of view, and following a story based on its story elements. Here is a video that covers some of the topics in our unit.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope everyone had an amazing summer! I look forward to meeting and getting to know all of you.

I want to share an important policy regarding allergies in our classroom. Several students, including myself, have airborne food allergies. We cannot have any food, drink, or products that contain any type of nuts (peanuts, tree nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, coconuts, cashews, or any other possible nut) or bananas in our room.

Due to the severity of these allergies, please refrain from bringing any lotions, deodorants, or sprays, as they may contain these ingredients and cannot be safely checked. Additionally, please avoid using coconut oil in your child's hair before a school night, as it can trigger an allergic reaction.

In class, only water should be brought as a drink. For lunches, please check all ingredients to ensure they do not contain nuts, coconut, or banana products.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. My goal is to ensure a safe learning environment for everyone throughout the year.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,

Mrs. Lounsbury
