Speaking & Listening Targets
Speak Up
Even though we have been "speaking and
listening" throughout this school year, we will have
a greater emphasis this semester. As we work
through the writing process to polish and publish
pieces we have drafted, we will be sharing our
writings with an intentional focus on the targets to
the right from our E/LA Speaking and Listening
Standards.

Please remind your child to dress
appropriately for the weather, as we will
enjoy recess outside whenever possible. If
he/she does not have appropriate
outerwear (not just a hoodie), he/she will
remain inside. Please contact me if you

for outdoor recess.
