"Marvels Then and Now."

Dear Parent or Guardian!

Our class is beginning a Language Arts unit called "Marvels Then and Now."  We will be reading a variety of selections about wonders from ancient and modern times.

We will also be talking about discoveries such as Egyptian mummies and a Stone Age man found preserved in ice, and investigating the work of scientists who study the finds.

Here are some things you can do to help support your child's learning in this unit:

          Watch TV shows about ancient and natural wonders, and talk about them with your child.

          Plan a family trip to a park or other site that preserves the wonder of nature.

          Look through newspapers and magazines for accounts of recently discovered marvels.

          Ask your child about classroom experiences related to this unit.
