We would like to take this opportunity to welcome
you to the beginning of another great school year.
We are very excited to start off the year strong. The
students will be working hard and diligently
throughout the year to progress and succeed. With
your help, your child will be able to thrive and
accomplish great achievements.
Instruction
Language Arts/Reading-- Students will learn the different
forms and elements of poetry. Our students will use an array
of literary resources meaningfully and purposefully to
understand and communicate reading effectively.
Language Arts/Writing- Students will write compositions
(Personal Narrative & Expository) to explain and describe
personal experiences and events. Students will write legibly,
capitalize, and punctuate correctly.
Mathematics-- Students will be working with place value to
the billions. In addition, they will learn the process standards
to solve problems involving whole numbers and decimals.
Please practice multiplication facts. They are a key element
this year.
