Writing- This week there will be no writing piece. Next week your student will write a personal narrative and a realistic fiction. They will then choose ONE to publish on Thursday.

Grammar- This week we focused on homophones (two words that sound the same but are spelled different and have different meanings). Next week with our IAR schedule, we will do a short review of previous skills.

Math- In preparation for the math IAR next week (see schedule below) we have been reviewing this week. Each day has been designated to a specific domain (operations and algebraic thinking, numbers in base 10, geometry, measurement and data, and fractions).
