Reading - This week we will continue to work on describing how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges. We will also work on making logical inferences when we read. On Thursday we will be taking the reading portion of the winter MAPS test. 

Writing - This week students will work on an opinion piece about their favorite season.  Students will state their opinion and supply reasons for support of that opinion.  In mechanics, usage, and grammar students will be using capital letters for holidays and names of places.
