Happy Track Out!!! I hope everyone has a great 3 weeks. In your child's folder there are some OPTIONAL Math Homework sheets and 3 of "Mrs. Chern's Special Books" for  your child to read if they would like. These are optional; however, I told them that when they were missing school they could do some math and reading. They can also write about the books they are reading. We have learned to:

• make Circle Maps about characters
• make Bubble Maps about what we learn from a non-fiction text
• make Flow Maps to write about the major events in sequence using key details
• write about the lesson the character learns and how we can learn from them too

I would love to read their thoughts when we get back if they choose to write about any of the books they read (mine or ones of their own). See everyone in 3 weeks!
