Week Six
Whew! What a fun filled family weekend! Unfortunately I did not spend much time on school work so I am just getting around to posting this week's blog. Here's what's in store for the week:
Literacy:
We are reading a story about Yosemite. We watched a documentary about the park last week to build background knowledge for the story. Spelling packets are due Friday.
Math:
We are continuing with number stories and starting a discussion about prime and composite numbers. I am not too sure about daily homework this week. Keep an eye on the homework calendar to stay up to date.
Science:
Thank you for sending in plants and plant parts! We are continuing our learning about seeds. One of the activities we are going to do this week will take us outside to explore the plants at Amelia Elementary. What a great week to experience science outside!
Social Studies:
We are going to continue with map skills.
Other News:
Interims went home Friday. If you would like a conference please call or send in a note. I can meet in the mornings at 8:25. I am not able to meet in the afternoon.

Week 5
Last week was a great week! I was so happy to hear from parents who are concerned with keeping up with school work. It is such good news to hear how much support you are giving at home! This week we have a lot going on:
Literacy:
We are reading a modern day fairy tale called "The Horned Toad Prince". Spelling packets are due Friday. We also have our weekly reading and spelling tests Friday.
Math:
We are continuing with multiplication. We will explore number stories. Here is this week's homework:
Monday SL 3.7
Tuesday SL 3.8
Wednesday SL 3.9
Thursday SL 3.10
Science:
Plants! We started talking about cells last week. This week we will take a cell quiz and start talking about seeds. We are also going to review the scientific process with plants and our mealworms. I am assigning science homework for the first time. I would like everyone to bring in a plant or part of a plant by Thursday. These will stay in our room for a while, but I will be happy to send plants home after our unit.
Social Studies:
This week we will continue map skills by reading a compass rose and using scale.
