In reading, we have started to explore character traits and emotions.  This week we have been learning the difference between traits: something that is part of you on the inside (personality) and emotions: feelings caused from an outside force.  We began to inquire about certain characters in our read aloud and are linking our findings to evidence in the book.

In writing, we have dug our heels into synonyms.  We are finding synonyms and using them in our writing.  In an effort to write a stronger piece we are also learning about sentence starters.  We are using these skills and parts of speech in our persuasive writing pieces.  What amazing writers we have!
