In writer’s workshop, we are drafting and editing our persuasive
writing. We are reading opinion articles in class to understand how an author
works to convince others of what he/she wants them to think, feel, believe, or
do. In reader's workshop, we are learning to take charge of our own
comprehension. Finally, in our independent reading time, we are using all
of our reading skills to help us improve our reading stamina. We are
working hard!
Social Studies:
We are still busy understanding how our governments works and how
exciting the regions of our country are!
Science:
Our science unit is on Energy. We are learning about
potential and kinetic energy and what makes energy change. We are studying
the various forms of energy.
***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!
