- **If you feel strongly about your child continuing to wear their mask throughout the day, please do let me know so that I can reinforce your decision with your student. Thank you!
- Just to clarify - I cannot make your student wear their mask, but I can remind them and let you know if they are repeatedly choosing not to wear it.

Morning Meeting/SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) - We discussed self-management strategies - use a checklist, take a break, accountability partners, etc.
Handwriting - We learned how to u and w in cursive.
Reading - We identified hyperboles (when an author exaggerates and makes something bigger than it is) and what their actual meaning is (example: The classroom looks like it exploded. = The classroom is a mess!). The kids actually did incredibly well with this! It helps that I tend to speak using hyperboles (they can tell you all about it).
Writing - We published our fiction stories (typed) and started learning about poetry. We will write poems next week.
