On our blog, you will find weekly updates including this newsletter, contact information and photos from our two amazing field trips from this past week.                                                

GRAMMAR

We will turn our focus to grammar.  Our first leap into the subject will include learning the parts of speech (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives).  Our scholars will be expected to define, use and identify words and their parts of speech.   

READING –Small groups

Reading small groups will begin this week.  Scholars are grouped by reading levels and will receive small group instruction according to their needs. 

Please continue to have your scholars read 30 minutes daily and provide a written response to their reading.
