Curriculum Update

Hey everyone,
Below will be some information on what we will be working on this week:

Reading: We will be finishing up Imagine It story Daedalus and Icraus. This will also carry us into Poetry study starting Wednesday. The class has also been working on an Imagine It Study Guide that helps them with the end assessment.

Writing: We are starting our Narrative Process. The beginning of this is focused on just the first paragraph and how to construct it. We will also be working on more descriptive writing throughout our stories.
The students will start the Haunted House story this week.

Math: Our calendar math is still going strong. Please remind your child to take their time and check over their work. We have started working on Multiplication using 10s, 100s and 1000s. The class seems to be picking up on this pattern pretty well.

This week, our class will be eating lunch at 1:35 due to lower grade testing. Please send a snack with your child. This will help them to concentrate and not be as hungry by the end of the day.
