Mrs. Rowe's Classroom: Last Week's Learning

Last week in math we continued to work on more complex story problems. We explored problems with extra information, not enough information, and hidden information. This week be on the lookout for some homework on these types of problems. Please have your child explain their thinking to you and explain how they solved the problem. If everything goes as planned, we should have our Unit 1 Test on Friday.

For literacy we focused on identifying the characters, setting, problem, and solution in several fiction stories. Please continue reading with your child at home and asking them questions about what they read. In writing we are still exploring personal narratives and adding details to our stories. It is wonderful to read stories where the students are beginning to apply this skill.

We had a special presentation put on by the Neenah-Menasha Fire Department. Students learned about what to do in case of a fire. They also got to see a fire truck and explore both the inside and outside. Below are some pictures from the fire presentation.
