Language Arts:

In writer’s workshop, we are gearing up for informational writing. To prepare, we are selecting a topic that we would like to become experts in so that we can teach others.  Soon, we will begin to research our topic to learn more.  In Reader’s Workshop we continue to work on our reading skills and applying our knowledge to understand what we are reading.  We are also going to begin learning about nonfiction text features.  We will learn how to use them in our reading and how to incorporate them into our own nonfiction writing.

Social Studies:

We have started our study of Economics and the kids are loving it!

Science:

Soon we will begin our next exciting science unit on Plants.  This is especially exciting as we will incorporate a lot of the knowledge we have gained from our Tower Garden project!

***Often we post things on our class SeeSaw accounts as well on our Google Classroom accounts.  Ask your child to show you what he/she has done so far!
