Reading/ELA
We will continue to work on character traits, parts of speech, and figurative language. Students should be reading nightly. While they are reading please make sure that you and the student are filling out their reading log information nightly. Students are expected to read 25 books by the end of the school year. Please make sure that you are asking them questions while they are reading to help them with their comprehension skills. In reading we will be focusing on cause and effect. We will continue to work on the eight parts of speech ( nouns, pronouns, prepositions, adjectives, verb, adverb, conjunction, and interjection.

We are working on persuasive writing. Persuasive writing is taking a standpoint on an idea and persuading your reader to agree with you. We will continue to work on strategies to build our persuasive arguments based on facts and reason. Math: Students need to continue to work on multiplication and division.
