What's+Up

What's up Nicole,

How's it going up there? How's Red doing? I hope you and Jenna are getting along better. I mainly wrote just to talk to you about school stuff.

Down here it's pretty cold so we can't go out for recess on some days, but while we're actually learning we're on reading stratagies in... wait for it... reading. It's kinda tough but I'm doing okay.

Some of the things we're working on is finding themes and telling the difference between important and supportive details. We mainly have to do this while our teacher reads to us from the book __Crispen 2.__ Finding themes sounds hard, but all you have to do is find a pattern in the writing. For important and support info we make a T-chart and decide what info goes where. For instance plot changing information goes on the side labeled important and a small amount of support info* goes on the other side.

Well, thats all we're doing in reading. Say hey to everyone up there. Hope you can write back to me soon!!


 * P.S. support info is information that isn't plot changeing, but could become so later.

Yo friend, ASHLEIGH!!
