January 2013 Newsletter

Here's a little preview of our upcoming newsletter, which will be coming home once school starts again.

Happy New Years!

What are YOUR goals for this year?

Holiday Literature

Here are some classic Holiday clips for your viewing pleasure. What is YOUR Holiday tradition? Yes, this is from Sesame Street. Don't judge, it is cute and accurate! Thank you Adam Sandler. And the Nativity story: The history of Christmas from the History Channel: And Kwanzaa! And Bing Crosby singing "Mele Kalikimaka."

Winter Break

Isnʻt this lovely to have a few weeks to slow down, relax, and catch up on our reading? When you come back, be prepared to do an in-class book report about the books that you FINISH during this break.

Make sure you know:
The author
The title
The genre
The plot
The central conflict
The resolution of the conflict
The main characters
and what other books, movies, TV shows your book is related to.

Have a great break!
