Have a wonderful holiday break!

In math, we will begin unit 4-division and introduction to fractions. We will begin by taking a pre-test and start working on long division using menus.
In Writing, we will continue to edit our persuasive letters and then start typing up our letters in Google Docs.
In Language Arts, we will work on combining sentences, abbreviations, and review adjectives. Your child will receive a study guide on Friday, January 8th and they will take the test on Monday, January, 11.
In Reading, we will start Unit 6-Cause and Effect and Drawing Conclusions. Miss Erler and I will start Fountas and Pinnell leveling each student for their current reading level (I will indicate this on the next report card).
In Social Studies, we will begin our project for Unit 4-Colony brochures. Your child will develop a travel brochure based on one of the early colonies (New England, Middle, or Southern).
