Dear Families,
This week we finished a book we've been reading by Andrew Clemenets titled, Frindle. In the book, a clever and inventive boy creates a new word for "pen". He calls it a "frindle" and the word takes off, eventually landing in the dictionary. He doesn't have a lack of obstacles along the way, like his 5th grade teacher who loves words, Mrs. Granger. Chat with your student about the book and what they loved about the story.
Reminders:
Can Drive- THANK YOU to all who donated to our P.E. cares can drive. We collected more cans than we ever have as a whole school!
Thanksgiving Break-We only have school Monday and Tuesday next week. Students will not have additional math homework over break, but should continue to read.
