We look forward to an engaging and exciting time of following various instructions to make and do things in class and at home.
Having learnt the spelling rules for changing singular nouns to plural nouns, we have now moved onto learning the spelling rules for changing singular verbs to plural verbs.

One of the main areas of our focus this year is in presentation of neat work. We have begun to learn cursive writing and will be following through with a handwriting program. Besides this we also have a dedicated reading time, which is helping us hone our reading skills.
Busy Reading!
