Dear Room 16 Parents/ Guardians,

It is hard to believe we are getting so close to the end of the school year. We have been working very hard in Room 16.

Language Arts: We are continuing to read, Island of the Blue Dolphins. We are working in our groups and discussing the book.

Writer’s Workshop: We have been busy writing many different poems for our poetry booklet. We have been typing up our poetry in the Computer Lab. The poetry booklet is due on May 23, 2012. We are also working on writing an informative report on an animal. The students have selected an animal and have been researching the animal at school. They are using books, encyclopedias, and the Internet to find research. The report is also due on May 23, 2012.
