Starring this week:
Reading: Our focus is comparing and contrasting two texts on the same topic.
Math: The focus will be working on graphs and geometry shapes. We will be doubling up on math on some days to get through all of the standards before testing. Don't forget to still practice your multiplication facts nightly. The SBAC has a lot of multiplication on the test.
Writing: Students are starting to write an informative piece of writing on telephones of the past. They have to tell how it worked and what it looked like. Please ask your child what three phones they are writing about.
Science: We will be starting our unit on Plants and Animal structures this week. It is a fun unit of study for all of us. Please send in a piece of fruit on Wednesday for the students to cut up and look at the seeds inside.
