Looking Ahead: What’s Next? 👀

ELAR: Hello Parents, I wanted to share an important update regarding our ELAR classes. During our recent student break, the ELAR teachers at TeSA attended a professional development meeting where we were asked to increase the pace of our instruction to ensure we are covering the required curriculum. As we make this adjustment, students may have homework more frequently, possibly even daily, until they become comfortable with the faster pace of instruction. We have been told that it may take a few months for students to fully adjust to these new expectations. I understand that this may be a change for students and families, and I appreciate your patience and support as we work through this transition. My goal is to help students adjust while continuing to provide the instruction and support they need to be successful. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Reading and Writing: We will be starting unit 2 "Eureka! The Art of Invention."  For this unit, we will be researching inventors and their inventions.

Math: Next week we will look at using arrays and area models for division, division word problems using arrays and area models, as well as two-digit by one-digit division.

Science/Social Studies: We will continue working on force and motion.
