Thank you again for coming and meeting with me during parent teacher conferences! It is always a highlight of my year when I get to share with parents the skills we are working on in class.

      Reader’s Workshop – Answering questions

      Writer’s Workshop – Narrative writing: Studying mentor text

      Math – Decimals and their Uses

      Social Studies – Missouri Regions

      Science – Scientific Process
