In Language Arts we've been working on Eve Bunting books as our Friday read aloud and discussion. Each one we read has ahd a different focus of study: Peepers gave us similie, The Memory String gave us thoughtful thinking, and So Far from the Sea has given us a little bit of history from WWII. Each title has been beautifully and differently illustrated. As your child for their favorite, or to tell you about a title.

Our writing continues to focus on making the plan and answering the questions completely. This is a tough process. Encourage your child to answer with good detail and specific information. It could translate into their writing! Continue to read stories wor non fiction with them. I know the days are longer and sports begin, but everyone needs the practice.
