Week of December 6th-10th

I hope that everyone is enjoying the busy month of December. In Language Arts, we are continuing our study of pronouns. Our focus is on subjective and objective case pronouns.

In writing, the students are continuing to explore the informational genre. We are completing our how-to essay on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday, the students will begin their informational research paper on Holidays Around the World. The students will be placed in a group to research their country's holiday. Each group will compose a five paragraph essay on their topic.

The students will not have any spelling words until after we return from Winter Break. All students will go to the library on Thursday. Please remind your child to bring his or her library books to school.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful week!
