D.E.A.R TIME
Today's D.E.A.R readers to share about the books they read were DEAR TOBY and DEAR RILEY! Great sharing about the characters!

HAZEL CLIMBS THE BEAN TO GREEN
Congratulations to Hazel for reaching her goal of climbing the Reading beanstalk! Hazel wanted to reach Green and she has. Hazel uses cool reading strategies like sounding out and re-reading sentences if they sound wrong.
Hazzie we are so happy for you and proud of you! Keep climbing ★
IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE MUSIC!
We will find out at 8am in the morning if we are going to film our part of the movie on Wednesday. If the answer is 'yes' we will need to start getting changed into our costumes and have our face painted when we arrive at school.
We need to be ready to film on the field at 9am.
We need adults to help us so please let our teachers know in the morning, or on our blog!
Let's hope we can say tomorrow: "It's show time!"
We have worked really hard, and are excited!

DROP EVERYTHING AND READ
Drop Everything And Read : DEAR time means we drop everything and read a book quietly and by ourselves. We did this on Friday and had to think about the characters in the book we were reading. Jack, Floyd and Anya shared about the characters in the stories they read. DEAR JACK, DEAR ANYA AND DEAR FLOYD-great job!
