Today we learned more about the parts of a letter and persuasive writing. We read the book, Dear Santa- The Letters from James B. Dobbins. In the book, James is trying to explain to Santa that all of the things that he has done wrong were just accidents. He is trying to persuade Santa into getting him the gifts he would like for Christmas. We wrote our own persuasive letters to Santa. We told him all of the good things we have done this year. We also did math explorations today. We practiced measuring, using Base-10 blocks and finding paths.
Homework- Read the poem, 'Homemade Gingerbread' and have your lucky listener sign the sheet.
Don't forget to bring in your exchange gift by Wednesday.
