Students will be reading stories about teamwork in Module 5. We will be covering the following concepts: Text/ graphic features, literary elements, theme, author's purpose and point of view. We will begin Module 6 towards the end of February.

In February, we will be learning the following in grammar:

• Subject- Verb Agreement
• Verbs Tenses
• Pronoun- Verb Agreement

We'll continue working on responding to prompts using the RACER strategy. Students are working on responding using an extended constructed response and a short constructed response.

We are starting our Geometry Unit. During this unit, students will classify and sort two- and three-dimensional figures using attributes such as sides, vertices, angles, faces, and edges. Students will also learn the difference among the different types of quadrilaterals based on the number of sides, parallel lines, and right angles contained in each one of them.

During the month of February, for Social Studies we will be learning about Citizenship and the rights and responsibilities that it implies. We will be also learning about important people who fought for the rights and freedoms of the citizens of our country. Last but not least, we will be celebrating Black History Month.

Please contact us via Class Dojo, ParentSquare or leave a message in the front office.

Our conference time is from 12:40 - 1:20 pm
