    Science/content writing
    We will begin a study of invertebrate animals this week with specific focus on insects.  We will be reading and writing about insects as well as doing some insect projects.  This unit will continue through the next few weeks.  We hope that you enjoy learning about different insects, their life cycles, and food chains as much as the kids do!
     
    Beginning tonight, your child will have a homework assignment Monday through Thursday.  Your child will need to remember to take homework home, complete it, and return it to school the next day.  Also, please encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes each evening.
