What We’re Learning This Week:

Math-We will be wrapping up our unit on Place Value and expanded form. There will be an assessment on Friday.

Reading-This week we will be learning that good readers ask questions when they read.  We will practice asking our Who? What? When? and Why? questions before, during and after reading. We will also review the story elements when reading.

Writing-We will continue adding details to our stories to help bring our characters to life for our readers by describing what they say and what they do. Please send in your child’s pictures if you haven’t already! Thank you!

Phonics-We will be learning about the words in the -ICK  (i.e. brick) and -IP (i.e. slip) families. Our first Spelling Test will be this Friday! Words to study will be in the red homework folders.

Science- Last week we went to the ILC and did research on Magnets. Our class did an awesome job taking notes from Pebble Go. This week we will be wrapping up our unit on Magnets and will continue to focus upon the vocabulary words: attract, repel, force, and poles. We will have an assessment this Friday.

S.T.E.A.M. We will be doing a S.T.E.A.M.  activity involving magnets.

Have a fantastic week!
