Reading:

Writing:
After completing our writing prompt I was so amazed at how far these students have come in writing narrative stories. This week we will continue working in our poetry folders.
Math:
Our math groups will be working on concepts that trip us up.
We will continue to take our 3-minute timed addition tests. If you student is stuck on a fact test please help them practice at home!
Content:
Our "Then an Now" unit is well under way. Students have picked a topic to research and create a stop motion video to demonstrate the change in their topic over the years.
We will also be sharing the homework questions that you provided answers to this week.
It is amazing how quickly things change and students are enjoying learning about the changes.
