May is here!  It is amazing how fast this school year has progressed.  We have several things planned for the remaining weeks of school.  During the month of May, we will be learning and engaging in fun and interesting curriculum activities.

We continue our journey with the many components of nonfiction text. During the latter part of May through June, we will begin  a review of the foci and strategies we have learned throughout the school year.
