March

Spring is coming!!!

Math-
We are finished with the multiplication and division unit, and are starting on larger addition and subtraction.  You will notice students working with and practicing problems like 467-538 and 4,238+3,981.  Even though we are finished with the multiplication unit, we are still working on our times facts.  Please continue to help you student practice and master their times tables.  We are still working on them in class!

Reading- We have finished our informational reading unit and starting a unit on reading about characters and understanding character development. 

Writing- We are finishing our unit on persuasive writing, and about to start a unit on creative fantasy writing.  

Bridges- We are getting close to the end of the bridge instruction.  We are going to be building Popsicle bridges in class the week of March 20-22, and weight testing March 22-23.  Please see the sign up for volunteers needed as we will need several adults to help with the hot glue guns.  If you have any questions about the speech to be written at home, and how your student can get resources to help- please let me know!!!
