Welcome back to our page!

This week was filled with a lot of adventures! We finished our first quarter standards with the Outcome Assessment on Wednesday, attended book fair, literacy night, and our zoo trip on Friday.  Thank you so much to our chaperones who kept the kids safe and sound at the zoo.  It ended up being a beautiful day!  Congratulations to all of our Esperanza Book Cover Contest entrees- Sam from my homeroom and Madelyn from Mrs. Ruggles's homeroom were first a second place!

Next week we begin our Quarter 2 unit launch. We will explore poetry, prose and drama structures and dig into more work with text evidence.  Students will write a story using "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick" by Chris Van Allsburg as inspiration. Parts of speech and cent- will be our focus in language and SWI.  We will attend the quarterly celebration (Feature Presentation) for students that qualify on Thursday afternoon. Red Ribbon Week is next week and we have a half day on Friday, which is also our fall parties.
