Dear 4/5 Parents:
Here is our plan for the rest of the year using the Learning Lang. Arts Through Literature book:
We are skipping the "Newspaper Unit" and the "Poetry Unit". Of course, you may work on these units with your student at home, optionally after co-op ends May 11.
As a class, we are reading The Sign of the Beaver, (NOT Wilbur and Orville Wright or The Tale of Anabelle Hedgehog).
We will read The Sign of the Beaver through March & April, culminating with activities on April 13.
We will do the "Story Writing and "Book Making Unit."
