Attendance is crucial for a child's academic success. Please ensure that your child is at school daily and on time.

Our class will be wrapping up poetry and will move into learning about an author's purpose for writing a text. We will then review summarizing stories and students review drawing conclusions when reading a story. We also will be preparing for SOL testing by reviewing test taking strategies when reading fiction and nonfiction texts.

Students will be working on writing an opinion or persuasive essay. Students will also learn how to use different resources when researching.

In Spanish, students will continue to work on past tense verbs. Students will use their drawings to write and will incorporate their learning of past tense verbs.
