Hi All,

I hope you enjoyed this "bonus" 3-day weekend!

This week, we will begin our second writing unit. Our first step will be Immersing, by reading various examples of informational text. By week's end the kids will begin thinking about subjects they find interesting, and then they will choose their "expert" topic.

We are also wrapping up our Social Studies unit on California regions, and then will be moving into a  
Science unit about the transfer of energy.

Finally, please contact me if you haven't yet scheduled your child's conference.

Take care,
Carroll Mayer
