What are we learning?
In this section of the Newsletter, I will list some Essential Questions that your child should be able to answer by the end of the week. This can help you to ask specific questions so that your child can tell you what he/she is learning in school!

- § Identifying and understanding literary devices

Our spelling words are five high frequency words and five words that fit the spelling rule we are studying in our Words Their Way. Study the words all week, and be ready for a test on Friday!
