ELA
As you may have noticed, writing is being incorporated into all of our content areas. We are writing more than ever in Social Studies & Book Clubs. In addition, we are working on our written responses in Math. The writing prompts in the TFK quizzes are now being timed to build the children's comfort with this process as well as their confidence in their ability to write in that amount of time.
Math
Science and Social Studies
Please continue encouraging your child to use their morning work time wisely to prevent having to work on notebook assignments at home. We are sprinting to the finish line, and we will finish strong!!
