Full steam ahead!

I have updated the reading, writing, and math tabs at the top of the page to keep you up to date on what we are working on.

We are starting new units in math and writing as well as continuing our work in reading.

In math, we are taking a break from addition and subtraction to explore the world of patterns. Please look over the school-home connect for ideas on how to practice patterns at home.

For writing, we wrapped up our narrative genre. We will revisit narrative at the end of the year. We have moved on to persuasive writing. Students will be required to give an opinion about something and reasons to support their opinion. Please make time to discuss topics that your child can easily relay reasons why they feel a particular way about that topic. Examples include, "Why I should have a new pet" or "Why this is my favorite book".
