Please ask your child the following questions in order to help reinforce class learning –
1. How do you find the area of a rectangle ? How do you find the area of a square ?
2. What is the subject in an imperative sentence ?
3. Please help your child to record their family history for Social Studies – where their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents come from ?
Thank you as always for your cooperation in the education of your child,
