For this last quarter our Champions will be reading and writing collaboratively to research a topic that they are interested about. They will not only tell us their opinion about it, but they will try to persuade us to be on their team!! Sometimes authors try to persuade us as readers. We will be looking at ways that authors use persuasion in their writing. In the last couple of weeks of school, they will be looking at the characters of stories and view their perspective of things. In writing, they will write a book review of their favorite book and present it to the class.

In Math, we are learning all about measurement, and how to tell and write time in hours and half hours. We will begin to learn about charts/data, and geometry in the next couple of weeks.

Science, has been about comparing living things vs. non living things. We are now going to learn all about the differences and similarities of animals and plants. Learning about our community, town, states, and country is what we have been doing in Social Studies.

Please Parents/Guardians continue to help your child by reading to him/her every night and asking  questions (let him/her ask questions about the text also.) Next time, if your child says he/she wants something, make him/her tell you why he/she deserves it. Let them persuade YOU to get it for them!
