In reading we will focus on identifying character, setting and plot. We will review words with silent letters, the /r/ sound written wr, and the /n/ sound written kn, as well as the long I sound spelled ie and igh. We will begin looking at words with the vowel sound spelled with ue, ew and ui.

We have completed our study in geometry and have been working on fractions of a whole, and fractional parts of a set. We will be working with the words congruent, numerator and denominator as crucial vocabulary.
