Ms. Reid's information for October 26-30

In grammar we have begun to look at simple sentences with compound parts. This week we will start to work with compound sentences and complex sentences.

We will continue to explore the basic elements of literature while also reading The Rumpelstiltskin Problem. We will review the elements that we have addressed over the past few weeks using the Rumpelstiltskin from chapter 5. The students will also receive an assignment sheet for a Fairy Tale Booklet on Tuesday. Please be looking for that to see what your child will be doing in class and how you can support them at home.
