Dear Families, 

We were so excited to welcome students back to school!  We are back in the routine and excited for our next trimester of learning.

Humanities:  We are currently reading about Phineas Gage.  We are using the book to analyze non fiction text structures as well as analyzing the author's writing techniques.  We are also learning a lot about the brain as we go!  We are also reviewing syllable types.  This week we reviewed closed, open, and the silent e syllables.
