I hope you all are staying warm and gearing up for the holiday break! We have been continuing our work with expository essays in writing and learning about literary nonfiction in reading. Literary nonfiction is a genre that includes biographies. Your children have been learning about the lives of important Americans such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Walt Disney, and Cesar Chavez, just to name a few. In social studies we have been learning about the first American colonists to settle in Texas. We've also been introduced to empresarios such as Stephen F. Austin and Martin de Leon.
Don't forget about our holiday celebration on Thursday, December 15 at 1:00 pm. Mrs. Dibari, our homeroom parent, has created a Sign Up Genius form for those of you who would like to contribute snacks and craft materials for the celebration. Thank you to those of you who have already signed up!
This should be an exciting week! Thanks for all your help and support through this first semester. We couldn't have made it without you! Happy Holidays!
