Writing a Letter

Mrs. Lavery is sending books from our library to a school in Africa. WHat do you think abouy writing a letter to students to go with them?

Some ideas to get you started: Can you add to them? 

• Introduce yourself, who you are, what you enjoy, and some other facts about you
• Don't use your last name!
• Share about where we live
• What are you learning about in school? 
• Tell them about the power of books, and what YOUR favorite book is
• Ask some questions about them (Be respectful!)
• What else can we add to this list?

Reminders/Homework:

• Thought Question! Due by Midnight on Friday. 
• Two Achieve Articles due by midnight FRIDAY.
• one article of your choice. If you aren't happy with your activity score, do another. I'll consider the higher score for grading. 
• One article of Ms. Black's choice. 
• Title: "How Can I Help?"
• If you don't like your score, do the stretch activity.
• Read your next independent reading book! (You have 6 weeks to read TWO books!) My suggestion: 20 pages every night. You might surprise yourself.
