We have yearbook signings at the end of the school year!
What are we learning about?
Reading
Reading: When we return from break, students will work on analyzing the structures and elements of argumentative text and explaining the author’s purpose in using tools, techniques, and structures.
WICKED!!! (Disclaimer for parents)
My favorite musical comes out in theaters today!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE The Wizard of Oz and this is the prequel to it. If you want something to do over the break, have your child read and watch The Wizard of Oz, and then take them to see Wicked in theatres. It is PG and kid-friendly. Know this is only the first half of the story, with the second half coming out in 2025. Here's the DISCLAIMER... My rule is usually "Read the book first." However, in this case, DO NOT let your children read this book. It is very dark, provocative, and not written for children. Some parents are not aware of this, so I thought I'd share.
40 Book Challenge - continue reading 20 minutes per night. This can include time with a hardback book, Sora, Istation activities/assignments, or Amira.
Writing
Grammar - Students will work on a daily review of previous taught skills and will be tested over them on Friday.
Writing - We will finish our research on World Wonders and then move on to Argumentative Writing.
