Reading- In reading, we've been focusing on dictionary skills and increasing our vocabulary.

Writing- Students are learning how to correctly use dialogue in their personal narrative stories.

Math- We are currently working on Unit 3- Multiplication, Number Sentences and Algebra. We have been reviewing and practicing our basic multiplication and division facts. If students have not mastered these, they need to be practicing these at home! This is the ground work for much of the harder math we will be doing later this year.

Social Studies- We have been exploring geography and Washington's 5 regions- Coast, Western Lowlands, Cascade Mountains, Columbia Plateau, and the Okanogan Highlands. Your child is becoming an expert on one of these regions.
