LITERATURE and WRITING
We read all about the dance at Grandpa's house this week. Scholars are enjoying Little House in the Big Woods. They get to experience first hand some of the smells described in our story. Ask your child to tell you about their experience smelling hickory, maple, and cloves! Students will copy another exemplary sentence from the text and summarize a passage about getting ready for the dance.
GRAMMAR
Scholars are learning all about the explanatory paragraph this week in preparation for soon writing one of their own. We discuss topics, support and nonsupporting sentences, and the three parts of an explanatory paragraph. Ask your child to tell you about each of the three parts!
MATH
We are finishing up our multiplication and division unit with learning about remainders. Our next unit introduced will be money! If you have grocery store ads at home, we encourage you to look them over with your child to practice finding prices of different everyday items.
With Grateful Hearts,
Mrs. Guevara and Mr. Kiehne
