Enjoying the weather.

Students enjoyed reading outside this afternoon! It was such a beautiful day.  Students have also started looking for author's craft in their books.  Author's craft is an art of writing... something the author does in his or her writing to make it sound or look a certain way.

Examples:

• colored words
• CAPITAL letters 
• speech bubbles
• punctuation
• ...
• dialogue
• dashes -----
• sound words 
• shape writing 

Notice and discuss this with your child as they read.
