Classroom Happenings 2/25/19

Bitmoji ImageHoping the post is finding you safe and secure in your homes. The wind is pretty strong and scary out there. Hold on to your little ones tightly.

Math: This week we will use our addition and subtraction skills to answer one and two step word problems. We should finish the unit this week and test by early next week. Please make sure your child is practicing their math facts on Mobymax. Just five minutes each night would be fantastic!

Writing: We have finished our realistic fiction writing and will begin writing literary essays by determining characteristics shown in a story and supporting them with details from the text.

Spelling: Your child should have brought home the Unit 17 words on Friday. This week’s focus is on the consonant blends (spr, shr, str, squ, scr, spl, and thr) Below is the Unit 17 list of words.

 

Social Studies: This week the kids will be learning why we speak English instead of French. That’s right – “The British are coming!”  By the end of the week the United States will be a country, but Michigan will not quite be a state.  Look for a study guide to come home sometime this week on the British in Michigan. 

 

Reading: We will continue reading fiction and nonfiction articles learning how to answer questions about the readings and write constructive response answers.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. It is best to contact me via email. I check that frequently, so will be able to respond in a more timely manner. nflory@hpseagles.net
