  • Please continue to collect $$ for Tritt! We will have one more opportunity to send in our envelopes this week. Our class is still short of attaining our 4 goals! Thank you!

Our Week At  A Glance:

Math: We will continue our math facts with subtraction from 10-20, i.e. 16-9=7.  We will also start to use these facts in word problems. Please continue to work with your children at home using flashcards for memorization! It will make their lives so much easier 🙂

Reading: We will continue working on Main Ideas and Supporting Details this week. We will be taking the R.I., Reading Inventory assessment this week to gauge their growth since the beginning of the year. Please make sure your children are reading 20 minutes every night!!

Writing: We will continue writing informational pieces. The students learned the acronym for capitals, M.I.N.T.S. (Months, “I“, Names, Titles and Starts of Sentences). We will continue working on this and you can and should correct this if you see it improperly written in their writing at home!

Phonics: We will start our unit on words with the wh and th digraphs. Please look for the complete list in their red homework folders on Monday. As always, there will be a spelling test on Friday on 10 of those words, plus a Bonus word.

Science: We will wrap up our fun unit on Magnets!

S.T.E.M. I will be attending a S.T.E.M. conference at UGA on Monday. I’m excited to bring back some great ideas. This week students will be introduced to creating an invention with reusable items from home!
