Here is what we will be working on for the next two week before Spring Break. Can you believe Spring Break is in 2 weeks?
Reading
Next week, we will be reviewing summaries as we write summaries of the books that were read this week. We will also review story elements with these stories. I was extremely impressed this week as the students pulled out concepts from the beginning of the year when discussing books. Way to go guys!
Writing
We will be starting our opinion unit next week. We introduced it this week as the students had to choose their favorite book each day from all the readers. We will be talking about valid reasons to support an opinion and also introducing the idea of counter arguments. We will be doing some taste testing next week to start off the opinion unit.
Math
We will continue trucking along with our subtraction unit next week. Next week we will work on word problems and then start reviewing. The currently plan is to test on Tuesday, March 22 over the subtraction unit. After we test, we will use the last few days before Spring Break as an overall review.
Coats/Jackets
Please send a jacket to school with your student even if the high temperature is above 60. Many times it is chilly during our morning recess and the kids get cold without a jacket.
