- What We're Learning In Class -
English Language Arts/Reading
Our reading groups are well under way. Kids are reading about Art, Sports Math, Diamonds, Running, and Genetic Disorders. Ask your child what he/she is reading about in their reading groups.
Please make sure that your children are reading every day at home. My boys like to read for 15-20 minutes before they turn their lights out at bedtime. It doesn't have to be a chapter book-- magazines, non-fiction books, or any other type of print is awesome and builds reading muscles!
