Week 28

 Dear Parents,

         This week in math we continued learning about fractions. We had our review on Thursday and our assessment will be next Tuesday. Reviewing with your child over the weekend will ensure they come back ready for the test. In writing and reading your child worked with a partner to finish researching, organize his/her notes, and put it in paragraphs to complete the research paper. We edited for commas in a series as well as spelling, grammar and other forms of punctuation. Our map skill focus was on borders. In science we continued learning about plant parts, played the plant parts, game, observed our growing grass seeds and experiment with plants and colored water. We made observations and recorded them in our science notebooks. On April Fools Day we made a class riddle book and told jokes from our Laffy Taffy treat.

 

This Week’s Kindness Challenge: Always remember to think before you do something online. How will it affect others?
