Reflecting on our week: 
This week we started Vocabulary Packets. Each student receives a packet of vocabulary words that has been specifically picked out for them based on observations and notes taken on assessments and reading levels. Vocabulary growth has a significant impact on comprehension. 



 We practiced speaking and listening skills by sharing our "Dark and Stormy Night" stories.
