Literacy
In writing we have been working on research writing skills using Social Studies topics. We have been learning how to develop great research questions, write about non-fiction, and cite our sources. We are also discussing what plagiarism is, and the importance to putting information into your own words when writing about it. Be sure to ask your child what they have been researching and writing about.
In reading, we are starting new novels next week! We will be moving to realistic fiction. Be sure to check in and see what your student is reading:)
