Language Arts and Social Studies for the week of October 11

Parents,
Below you will find a synopsis of what we will be learning in Mrs. Ford and Miss Wheeler's class in the week to come.
Language Arts
Students have started guided reading groups. We will spend the next few weeks working through mysteries. I have enjoyed reading, questioning and commenting with your child! As a class, we will read Stellaluna. We will use this piece of fiction to help us think about what things we can expect from pieces of fiction. We will also use it as a launching pad for a review on verbs and how this part of speech impacts our writing.
Social Studies
Last week your student learned about the three branches of government. I hope they will continue to explore this learning using the websites linked on our helpful websites tab. We will discuss how each citizen in the United States has rights and responsibilities. One of those rights, is the right to vote. We will explore this idea and talk about what an election might look like.
Thanks for supporting and extending learning at home!

Mrs. Ford and Miss Wheeler
