Hello 4K Families and Students,
In Math, we are working on measurement, capacity, area, and perimeter. In Writing, we are drafting informational essays and learning strategies to enhance our writing techniques. Students are now in Social Studies with Ms. Siegel. Please make sure you are checking your child's agenda each night and that they are completing their homework. In addition, please make sure that your child is practicing their basic multiplication facts.
