Here's a look at our learning this week:

In reading, we will continue working on understanding an author's or character's point of view, and then looking at how our own point of view may be similar or different to that of the text.

 In writing, we will begin a new opinion piece. We will be choosing our favorite restaurant and then developing reasons and examples that support why the restaurant is the best. Feel free to brainstorm some ideas with your child at home. Eventually, we will have a five paragraph opinion writing that includes an opening, supportive details, and a closing.

Our grammar focus this week will be on comparative and superlative adverbs and adjectives. Encourage your child to look for these types of words in their books at home. We will also try to use these descriptive words in our opinion writing to spice it up a little!

On Wednesday morning, we will have a special presentation from the Cobb County Watershed program. This presentation will help us with our current science standards on the habitats of Georgia.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about anything.

Thank you!

Laura Kloos
