Welcome to Quarter 2! We are exploring and writing all different kinds of poetry and getting started on our first research project. Be sure to ask your child which state they are researching and why they chose that particular state. In algebra, we are on a roll as we work through some easier concepts and build confidence. Vocabulary words still need to be practiced weekly, so please continue encouraging your child to review them at home. This week, we enjoyed reading poetry by Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman. Conferences are happening this week. Remember, students are an important part of their conferences and will participate. Students should be reading their next book report book. We will have presentations starting on November 30th. Thank you for being such a fantastic group.
