Q3Week5

Dear Parents,

We are more than half way done with the third quarter. As we get closer and closer to summer vacation your students are going to get ever more restless. Keep encouraging them to stay on task and give their best effort! We still have a lot to learn this year.

This Week

1) In Writing we will be reviewing their handwriting (some of it has gotten quite sloppy) and letter formation. We will also be learning about the importance and uses of commas and quotation marks. Feel free to ask them about when it is appropriate to use a comma, they might surprise you with how many rules their are!

2) In History we will be learning about the first shots fired in the American Revolution. There will also be a TEST this Thursday. The students have been prepping for it since last week and a review will go home, just make sure they are studying for it.

3) In Reading  we will be finishing the Princess and the Goblin. On Friday we will have a seminar centered around the question: "What does it mean, according to the story, to be a true prince or princess?"

Keep up your great work! We really appreciate you.

Best,

Mr. Ohbayashi
