Here's a look at our learning in reading, writing, and grammar this week:

In reading, we will continue working on understanding the sequence of events in a text. We've been creating timelines based on the book, The Wild Robot. To practice this skill at home, ask your child questions about a book he or she is reading such as, "What happened right before or just after (insert an event from the book)?"

In writing, we will wrap up our work on opinion writing with a fun piece about indoor vs outside recess. We will read two short passages about recess and then form our own opinion about which type of recess is better.

We will wrap up our unit on conjunctions this week as well. As your child reads or writes at home, ask him or her if can find any conjunctions. Here is a link to several conjunction games for extra practice. https://www.turtlediary.com/games/conjunction.html

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

Thank you!
