Reading Response: Week of January 30th

Oh, it feels so good to be back in a Wordmasters Round again. I love learning all these new words and I love seeing YOUR presentations. They have been creative and your classmates have really picked up on the meanings. I am proud of all of your hard work.

Here are the words that will have been presented as of this Friday:
prow
erect
slack
migrant
huddle
mousy
ordeal
decrepit
schooner
demolish
rebellious
disband
settler
condense
mislead
intricate

For your posting this week, I'd like you write a story! In your story, I'd like you to use at least 5 of these words. Your story can be about any topic that you'd like. It can be as long as you'd like. Please make sure your story has character(s), setting, problem, events, and a solution/ ending. See Miss Schaech's example posting.

It's Reading Month!

January is Reading Month!

Creeds has some EXCITING Reading Month activities planned for you!
Listed below are some ways for you to participate:

1. All month we will be reading Chocolate Fever. It is interesting to think that every student at Creeds will know this story by the end of the month!



2. On Fridays, the PTA is sponsoring a "Read In" at lunch. After eating, you can curl up on stage with a book.



3. Mrs. Dawson is sponsoring a Reading Poster Contest. Design a poster persuading others to read. There will be a winner chosen from each grade level. The posters are due January 13.



4. Get caught reading! Anytime you have free time, READ! You could earn a ticket. Turn your tickets into the library. You could be a winner!



5. January 20 is Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character Day!



6. January 26 is Wear Pajamas Spirit Day. We will be having a Drop Everything and Read Celebration in school that day.



7. Every Thursday from 6:00-7:00 is Creeds Reads in the library. For every Thursday you attend in January, you will get a HW pass. The 4th grade teachers will be attending on January 12. Please plan to join us!



8. Your Read A Thon Fundraiser and Logs are due January 31.



9. Brag Tag Reading Logs are due January 14 and January 28.

WOW! What an agenda! Please share this information with your family.
