Hello Everyone!
Wonder We had a wonderful week last week! The students have been
working incredibly hard on their realistic fiction stories! Each child has
developed a strong story plot and their writing is rich with descriptive
Writing language. It has been such a blast to get to read their work! This week

will begin to peer-edit each others stories.
