Reading-
This week we will start a review of our reading skills that will help prepare us
for the end of the year. We will be reading a fun story and looking at elements
like summary, theme, character development, POV and more.

Writing-
We will continue with working on our Choose Your Own Adventure stories. 
This large group project will be what we share on our spring parent night.
I cannot wait to see our final products.

Social Studies
We will take a look at the oil boom in Texas in the late 1800s and early 1900s and
discuss major changes during this time to Texas industries.

Homework-
Thank you for supporting your child by making sure that they read each night and
practice math on Dreambox. Thank you for reviewing assignments with them and
encouraging them to use their owl time to keep up with make-up and redo assignments.
These organizational and study skills will help them be prepared for 5th grade and
beyond.
