Henry,

We are finishing up the 4^th unit of Language Arts this week. I am so proud of the progress you have made! We have begun reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  You are right… It is similar to the movie you’ve already seen, but it isn’t exactly the same as the book. I think it is too cool when you notice the differences as we are reading.  Our warm ups this week focus on learning map skills! Next week, we will begin the 5^th unit of Language Arts and the 6^th unit of Math. We will incorporate the map skills we are learning into a special Minecraft project. I’m excited about that! You are doing great, Henry! Keep up the awesome work!!!
