We will continue to work with multiplying decimals this next week by applying the skill to real life situations.  Please refer to last week's post if your child needs help understanding the skill.

Writing 

This next week we are moving into informational writing.  The first couple of days we will focus on creating a strong informative paragraph.  As the week progresses, we will start the process for our informational writing on Space Exploration.

Reading 

The novels are a huge hit!!  Ask your child about their reading.  We will continue with book clubs next week.  In small groups, we will be reading informational text.  and learning how to determine the organizational structure of a text and how the structure helps the reader understand the writer's message.
