March 31 - April 4

I hope that everyone enjoyed their Spring Break!  I am looking forward to seeing the students again and hearing what they were up to.  Here is what we will be learning this week:

Math - We will be adding by 1's, 10's, and 100's.  Then students will be starting 3-digit addition.  There will be a quiz this week so I can gauge how students are doing.

Literacy/Word Work - A big focus this week will be on how to use a dictionary.  Students will then be given the opportunity to use these skills.  We will be starting a new Wordly Wise unit.  Students will also be working on their own individual spelling words, so we will not be having any more weekly tests.

 Science/Writing - We will continue our research on animal groups.  This week we will finish reptiles and hopefully get a good start on amphibians.  Everyone is doing a great job using non-fiction text features to help them find the information they are looking for.

Here are a few pictures from before Spring Break.
