Looking ahead to next week:  As scientists, students will continue learning about animal adaptations and how animals survive in their habitats.  They will receive their study guide Monday, September 19.  It will be due the following Monday.  They will also enjoy a visit from the Riverbanks on the Road. As mathematicians, the children will revisit adding three-digit numbers.  Their study guide will be issued Friday, September 23, and will be due the following Friday.  Be sure to check out our Topic 3 family letter below.  In reading, students will enjoy a CLOSE reading article on the regions of South Carolina.  They will break down the article using the TWISTS model.  As writers, they will learn about plural nouns, as well as, narrative elements.
