April 18th

Hi Parents,

I think the cold bug is going around our class. I got it over the weekend (Friday) and still have not been able to shake it! We have a lot of kids coughing as well, so please just make sure that your kiddos are getting a lot of rest and WASHING their hands!

Today you should be receiving the parent letter for unit 10. This unit focuses on a wide array of things. We are starting with measurements. Tonight's homework introduces and talks about volume.

In reading we are focusing on Biographies this week. Your students are reading a bunch of different biographies about many famous inventors, activists, and athletes.

In writing we continue to work on the processes of persuasive writing.
