Dear Parent/Guardian:

Our class is beginning a Literacy unit called "STEP UP". In this unit, students read information about people who have had the courage to "step up" and take action during times of need. As students read the selections, they learn
 * how to make connections to their own personal experiences, texts they've read or viewed, and the world around them
 * how to develop ideas as they write
 * how to listen effectively
 * how to recognize purpose and audience in media texts
 * the characteristics of sequence text pattern
 * many word study skills

It should be a great start to our literacy focus for the new school year! Sincerely,

Mr Johnston
