Reading: We will continue our non-fiction unit. Their reading groups all have a different natural disaster they will become experts on. The students will continue taking notes using text structure. We will also work on using context clues to find the meaning to unfamiliar words. For your child's nightly reading, they can continue reading fiction at home or spend some time reading non-fiction. It is up to them!
