Science/SS

In Science the students continue to work on their Paper and Wood unit doing many experiments.  They love having time to actually try different things out with wood and paper.  In Social Studies we have been discussing needs and wants along with money and work.  All of these go hand in hand.  The students really have a nice understanding of these concepts.  Ask them about it!

Math

We finished up our Chapter 9 on beginning addition and now moved on to actual addition steps. This can be very tricky for some to understand.  We hope by taking our time your child will understand the concept.  Please continue to make time to practice this at home as it shows in our classroom!

Reading

Many of us moved to a new level in our book clubs so we are enjoying reading harder books.  If you did not move to a new level they are continuing their hard work at their level.  We are really working on the strategies of sounding out, looking at the beginning sound, and chunking the word to figure it out!
