Just a little bit about what is going on in class: Reading-In between mid year assessments we will be studying persuasive writing. For the next few weeks we will be doing mid year assessments. You will see a few less signed papers coming home. Writing-We are working on a class topic in persuasive writing, "Should we give our Halloween Candy Away?" Next we will each select our own topic to write a 5 paragraph persuasive essay! We are also just about finished with an essay about our New Year's Resolutions, ask your child to show you!   Math-We have just started fractions. Be looking for a "How to Help at Home" flier to come home via email.  Content-We are learning all about Alabama. This will be a long unit lasting until the end of the year! We are starting with map skills the regions of our state, landforms in each region and also about the animals that live in our state. The kids have started a virtual Alabama notebook, we are researching and slides in our notebook each day. We are posting in homework which slides should have been completed each day so please touch base with your child and make sure he/she is keeping up daily.
