This week in ELA we continued with our character trait unit. This week we worked with a partner to analyze one character from a story. We thought about what they say, think, and do. Then we used this information to infer or guess things about this character and their traits. We started a new spelling unit and will complete this unit next week. This week in science we finished our salmon research flip books. You students should have brought this home to share with you. A few of our salmon have started to swim up. They are still in their alevin stage since their yolk sacs are not fully gone yet. We should have mostly turned into fry over our break! :) - Ms. Jamie
