What We're Learning
Language - We will explore language arts through the use of Reader's Workshop and Writer's Workshop. Narrative writing, spelling, and parts of speech will also be covered. Ask your child how they responded to their independent reading book today!
Math - We will be learning lots of new things in math over the coming weeks. Units on multiplication, division, and geometry are all planned! Practice those math facts daily!
Science - We will alternate units of social studies and science this year.
Social Studies - We are beginning our unit on the New England region. Can you name all the states in this region?
