Hello Families,
Here is a look at our week ahead!
In Math we are starting a new unit concentrating on number patterns, computation and data analysis. During this unit the students will be practicing adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers as well (to concentrate on those basic skills!) We will be practicing the "antique" method of addition that we called "carrying" and the students will choose their way to solve. They will be able to choose either partial sums or carrying. Please continue to practice fact memorization as all of the students should be moving into subtraction Rocket Math facts during the month of March. THANKS!
In Language Arts this week the students will be working on the letter patters /oi/, /oy/, recognizing cause and effect while reading, and using describing words while writing. We will be reading "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" with our normal test schedule in place.
In Science we will be reviewing our Earth unit on Tuesday, with the Chapter 5 test scheduled for Thursday. A study guide will come home on Tuesday.
In Social Studies we will continue our look at our nations' story with a look at immigration this week. Currently I am reading the Laura Ingall's Wilder book "Little House in the Big Woods". The students are hearing about how people lived long ago in this wonderfully written story. Ask your child what has been most interesting to them in story.
On Friday we will watch the 3rd Grade perform their play. Good Luck 3rd Grade!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Scull
