Mrs. Gulledge’s       Classroom Newsletter     Oct. 14-18

Now that we have been writing for almost a whole nine weeks, (Can you believe it? Wow!) we will be incorporating these skills into our sentences.  The expectation that a capital letter and an end mark will be used automatically, and other skills such as subject/predicates, verbs, and now adjectives will be incorporated into sentences we write to add greater details.

*Happy Birthday to Jack!
