Reading:
We are continuing with Daily 4. Students are required to read 40 books by the end of the year. Please encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes every night.

Units:
We will discuss different ways electricity is produced, and students will explore different ways to light a bulb using just a battery, a bulb, and one or two wires. Then we will learn about circuits.

Writing:
Starting this week, we will begin working on Creative Essays. Finally, the students will get to write their own narrative stories of their choice. We will look at various genres and learn what narrative writing looks like. Students will be bringing home their grades for the Keynote presentation. Please sign the paper and have your child return it back. If you would like to see the recording of your childs presentation, please send me an e-mail or a memory stick to school.
