This week in Mrs. Roussell's class, students will discuss making connections in reading and turning those connections into log entries. In writing, students will begin drafting stories, and in math students will have a unit assessment on Monday before starting a new unit on line plots. Students will also work in groups to create posters about Missouri's five regions for their social studies unit. The newsletter reminds parents of upcoming deadlines and events and recognizes two students for good behavior.
