This week in Literacy:
In Module 4 we will explore the impact of water around the world! Find out standards, goals, and more by clicking this link to the parent information letter.
Our students are working SO hard on their Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) regarding the inequality of clean water in our world. We read the story of Salva Dut, a lost boy from Southern Sudan who overcame incredible hardships to eventually find a better life, then give back to those still living in extreme poverty. Students had a hard time not DOing something, so we have joined the Iron Giraffe Challenge which is a competition among schools to raise money for an amazing cause. Your child will be finishing their official PSA within a few weeks, but here is a resource slide that could spark some amazing dinner conversations and promote civic duty! word-SouthernSudan

The last remaining unit of our math curriculum continues this week with some more measurement concepts. Students will learn about US Customary measurement of length (in, ft, yd, mile), capacity (cup, pint, quart, gallon), and weight (oz, lb, ton).
