Expect lots of fiction writing leading up to Halloween! Students will also dive into the history of the United States from pre-Columbian times to the Constitution. Ask your child about today’s timeline activity, and check out the three response questions that are homework. The timeline serves as an overview for the learning to come. Students also began reading groups (aka “lit circles) today. They received a book with three or four of their peers, created assignments for themselves up until Thanksgiving, and will discuss the books in a structured format twice a week. Have you child describe this process to you for clarity (and to see if they are getting it!). This will take some getting used to, but all the assignments are laid out for them from the beginning, as long as they keep track of their books and packets. Have a great weeek.
