The Family

I hope you enjoyed reading the story Brothers and Sisters.  The pictures were really great!!  I'm sure you have some great pictures of your family also.  Did you know about all of the different types of families?

I am sure that you learned a lot about your family.  Hopefully, learning about your family's history gave you a better understanding of where you came from.

By now, you have had a lot of practice using sound endings.  Be sure to use the new skills you have learned in each writing piece you complete.

Vowel pairs are often tricky!  Not for you!!  Follow the rules you learned about the vowel pairs -oa and -ow whenever you write.

Wasn't it cool to make a family tree!  Did you know about all of the people in your family?  I bet you learned about people in your family that you never knew existed.

Finally, you used all of the skills that you have been pracitcing to create a wonderful story about your family.  I am sure that the whole class enjoyed learning about the family that you came from.

Keep your family tree and your story in a safe place.  You might want to share it with your children some day!
