April 7 - 11

I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the lovely weather yesterday!  This week is a very busy week for us.  Here is what we will be doing:

Math:  We are continuing to work on 3-digit addition in story problems.  We will also start 3-digit subtraction this week.  Be on the lookout for a letter coming home explaining how your child is being taught, so that way you can help them if they need help.  Please remember to keep practicing addition and subtraction facts at home.  Almost all students need to work on speed and accuracy, especially with subtraction facts.  Thank you for all of your help at home!

Literacy and Science:  This week our main focus will be on writing an "All About" book about the animal groups we have been studying.  Students will be put into groups of six, and each student will be responsible for writing all about one of the animal groups.  Students will be also be expected to include non-fiction text features on their pages such as headings, diagrams, captions, etc.  This will be a challenging, but fun, project.

Word Work:  Students are still practicing their own individual words and being tested on them periodically.  This week students will also have their Wordly Wise Unit Test.


Reminders:
Wednesday:  Report Cards sent home & Spring Pictures
