Eighth Day of School

In Language Arts today, we reviewed the parts of  a narrative we will need to know in order to read and write stories in the classroom.

• The Beginning of the story includes:
• the setting (where and when)
• the characters (who)
• The Middle of the story tells the events or plot (what).
• The Ending explains the resolution.

When you have your child tell their stories at home, listen for these story elements. At Back-to-School Night I will explain our process for turning our oral stories into written text and what is needed to pass the writing standard.
