Dear families,

Thank you for checking out our class blog. Please be sure to check back regularly to find important class announcements and assignments.

Here is a quick update for you:

We finished our reading unit on fiction this past week with a high combined pass rate of 84% of students passing. Ask your child about his or her reading goal for the upcoming quarter as we just completed reading assessments and students have updated their goals.

Students have shown a lot of creativity writing fantasy short stories involving a hero, a villain and a quest. Most have finished publishing and we will share next week.

In the upcoming weeks, we are starting new reading and writing units in research. We will be teaching and going through the research process to become experts on a topic. Please be chatting with your child about topics they are passionate about and interested in, as we prepare to brainstorm ideas for research projects!
