They're Checking it Once and Checking It Twice

We won't find out who is naughty and nice and at this time of year Santa will not come to town!

We will find out who took the time to write complete sentences, check their spelling, and make sure their ideas made sense!  Please look at our Workbook page 219 (page 220 was assigned too).

We talked this through in class before they began the work.  It is a difficult process to think of Cause and Effect.  The first one is a great example.
What made Maya pick Tim?
The answer is NOT.. She wanted a picture of her dog doing a trick for a contest.
Caleb was our great thinker on this question... "Tim takes great pictures!" 
Please be careful to check for sentence structure as well as the idea of cause and effect.

AR BOOKS - Students are not having success with One Point Books because they are taking too long to read them.  The suggestion is to take half point books home on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Check out the One Point Book for the weekend.  Then you will have 3 days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) to read it through.  If your child needs an extra day have them check out the 1 point book on Thursday and then they will have 4 days to read it.  When they combine half point and 1 point books they will enjoy reading without becoming overwelmed.
