First off, we do have school tomorrow.

Tonight’s Writing Homework:

We will be doing a writing assessment about a favorite object.  To help your child with this task please do the following:

• Have your child choose a small object that is important to them

• Have your child describe the object.
• Discuss where your child got the object.
• Discuss with your child why the object is important to them.

Please send your child’s object to school in a plastic bag with their name on it on Monday.

5. Spiders have eight legs. (Mia)
6. Spiders can be different. (Mohamad)
7. Spiders are not insects, they are arachnids. (1E)
