  • Continue to develop strong writing skills, composing a short story, op-ed, narrative, and explanatory texts.

  • Develop literary analysis skills while exploring themes, characters, setting, and conflict in texts chosen to engage your child’s imagination.

  • Explore how the Earth’s geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere interact.

  • Investigate the history of the U.S. and his/her home state from Reconstruction through the modern era.

  • Continue developing a strong number-sense, mental-math and problem-solving skills while learning to multiply two-digit numbers, practicing long division, and working with decimals and fractions.
