Dear Families,
I hope that each of you had a wonderful spring break and that you were able to relax and have
some fun. I enjoyed having the time off to spend with family and friends. The weather was incredible, so I spent most of my time outside.
It is hard to believe that we are starting the final 9 weeks of the year. It seems to be going by so fast. Here is a look of what we will be doing this week :
Reading - we will continue to look at expository text. Our focus will be context clues to determine word meaning, main idea and summary.
Writing - we will continue to work on our expository piece that we started before break.
Math- we will begin looking at fractions.
Science- we will begin looking at animals and their adaptations.
