Im conferring with the students and helping them decide if they want to change the area (comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and expand vocabulary) that they are focusing on. We are continuing to work on learning the cursive lower case letters. We will also continue looking at the 6+Traits: Ideas, Organization, Sentence Fluency, Voice, Word Choice, Conventions and Sharing.

Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20
