**// Hyatt News //** **// Hyatt’s Corner: ﻿ //** **//To those of you who were able to make it to Curriculum Night, thanks so much for coming! //** __//Writing: //__**//Wow! They have already written a few personal narratives. I am learning more about who they are and how they see the world. My son is in the Peace Corps in Rwanda and he wrote an email to the students. The students of both classes came up with questions and he sent an email consisting of seven pages to respond. Today, students read the email and began to draw some of the details, such as the insects, snakes, houses, etc. This is a great way to learn how to insert details into your writing; through modeling. I will attach this email, as you too might be interested in learning about a very different culture. //** **//We are also studying capitalization, proper and common nouns. //** //Reading: // **//We are studying the strategy of making connections to enchance our understanding. Next week we will delve deeper into the strategy, visualizing. //** //Math: // **//My math class is studying place value with large numbers. Students are learning to read those numbers.
