Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a joyous holiday! I'm looking forward to seeing my students on the 2nd!

READING
We will start working on the strategy of monitoring and clarifying as we read using the story Nights of the Pufflings. We will then extend our strategy use while working on a novel study. All the while, we will also be distinguishing fact and opinion. As always, we will continue to utilize strategies from previous weeks.
