- There is a terrible bug going around and we have many students absent this week. If you child is out, please do not worry about missed work. I am keeping track of what has been missed, and once they are well I will meet with each student to catch them up! Rest is the most important thing!
- There is a Curriculum Connection tomorrow from 8-8:45 about the Reading Notebook across grades 3-5.

CURRICULUM
Reading-This week we are launching our next reading unit- Character Studies! This week students are meeting with new partners and book clubs to identify character traits and examine problems characters face (when reading books in a series).
Writing- This week we are launching our new writing unit- Baby Literary Essays. Today we took the on demand assessment, and throughout the week we will study student mentor pieces and rubrics to better understand the structure.
Math- This week math groups are doing final reviews of the commutative, associative, and distributive properties, in addition to word problem work around multiplication and division. Later in the week we are exploring units of measurement when used in multiplication/division scenarios.
Social Studies- We are still in the midst of our unit focusing on the culture, land, and economy of the United States.
