Dear Parents,

We hope your weekend was great!

This week your child will inquire into the following:

Your child will be learning these words and reviewing older words through various chants and activities.

 We will begin another series of stories by Arnold Lobel. This time the book is called Owl At Home. Students will learn new vocabulary; describe settings, characters and problems in the stories.

Writing:  

Students will work on an informative writing about George Washington. We have watched movies and discussed his life using different models.

Math:  

We will begin Chapter 7. We will compare numbers to show greater than, less than and equal to.
