We will be assessing over module 7 next week.	Language Workshop: This week we started learning about the three branches of government. We have talked about the legislative, judicial, and executive branches and their duties. Students have really enjoyed learning how our government works.

Reading Workshop: In reading we learned that a compound word is two words put together to form a new word. We did many activities to help students practice using compound words. We assessed over this skill on Friday.	Writing Workshop: We reviewed the types of writing: narrative, opinion, and informative. Students chose which type of writing they would like to work on. I am proud of the students for working hard on this writing piece!	Special Announcements Our end of year NWEA Testing is next week. Please make sure your child gets a good night of sleep and eats a good breakfast each morning. Thank you for your support!
