Reading Update

Website

  Or TFK as we call it has proven to be very challenging for the students. You can help at home by discussing the topics, especially the heavy vocabulary. This week's article focuses on the upcoming election. Some tough words are: 

• quality
• spew
• ultimatum
• preserve

Word Study Update

Over the next two weeks, the students will be working on vocabulary centering on Geometry. Our next math unit covers Geometry and we have found that teaching the words in Language Arts, makes a big difference in their overall understanding. 

Math Update

Ask your child to show you how they multiply and divide larger numbers. Having them teach you is a great way to solidify those key skills!
