Spelling: Unit 6 is a Review Week due to the shortened week. No new spelling words. We will be working on reviewing previous lessons.
Reading Studio: This week we will finish up our genre study with some genre challenges---we will preview a book and see if we can decide which genre it is.
Writing Studio: Our first published writing piece is due this Friday. Your child may bring homework home if they need to finish it by Friday. After they finish, they will conference with Miss Norris to go over their strengths and area of focus in writing for the next assignment.
Math Studio: We finished our first checklist this week and will start to look at rounding numbers.
Gym: This week we continue our soccer skills with goal tending, shooting, tackling (defense), and game play.
