Battle of the Books

Second graders were informed of the Battle of the Books a couple of weeks ago. This is a great opportunity to have your child read some great books and work with a partner to answer questions about each story. If your child chooses to be in the Battle of the Books they have from now until early February to read. Any questions about the Battle of the Books please let Mrs. Kath or myself know.

Unity Day

Unity Day is set for Wednesday, Oct. 24th. Students are encouraged to wear orange to school on this day to let people know that we don't allow bullying at Maple Lake Elementary School...instead we share KINDNESS!

Good Readers...

This week during Daily Five our class has been revisiting CAFE strategies that help us become even better readers such as:

• Good readers use pictures, graphs, and charts to figure out unknown words.
• Good readers reread.
• Good readers look for known chunks within words.
