Week 23

 Dear Parents, 

                This week in math we finished up our unit on 3 digit addition, with and without regrouping. We took our assessment on Wednesday and began our unit on 3 digit subtraction on Thursday and Friday. We did not have regrouping as of yet, as we are still switching our minds over to subtracting. This is a difficult switch, so please next week check over your child’s math homework to see if they are needing extra help with this skill. I will be supporting them through this unit at school.

                 In writing we dove into poetry and our goal is for each child to publish at least 3 poems! We also began research on famous African Americans for Black History Month. We each chose one person to research on Pebble Go and fill in a flip Book. During Guided reading we also focused on a daily famous African American and filled out a fun fact sheet. We learned a little each day about a different person on the CRE Announcements and had a chance to find out more during guided reading. We did a LISD Unit Checkpoint and also practiced map skills.

                  In science we finished up our unit on natural and manmade resources. We took our assessment and practiced a fun review of all that we learned on our ipads with a Booklet activity. Congratulations to Riley for coming in first place!

• We still are collecting the $3.00-$5.00 per child for each child to cover the costs of our room mothers. Five children still need to bring this in. They always do a fabulous job on our classroom parties!
• I still need two hearts for our classroom Bulletin Board. The Valentine written to your child from you. It would be nice if everyone had one on our board.
