Q3Week8

Dear Parents,

In Class This Week

1) In History we will be learning about the Battle of Saratoga, which turned the tide of the war in America's favor. We will also be learning about the betrayal of Benedict Arnold and why that was so devastating to Washington and the Americans.

2) In Writing we will be learning about the use of quotation marks in sentences. We will also continue practicing commas. You can help your students by checking their homework and see if their use of punctuation marks looks correct. Ask them to explain why they put punctuation where they did.

3) In Reading we will be continuing to read Carry on Mr. Bowditch. This book is going to be mostly one we simply enjoy, so there will be no focus questions as homework. Its always beneficial to read with and to your students and we encourage you to do so whenever you have the opportunity.

Best,

Mr. Ohbayashi
