Character Connections Word of the week: ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance means respecting the differences among people. Because
people are different in so many ways, it is important to be accepting of
others.
• “The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just
done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.” –
Martin Luther King, Jr.
• “Happiness can exist only in acceptance.” – George Orwell
• “The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of
unconditional love and acceptance.” – Brian Tracy

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!
