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.
