Reading/Writing

We are really getting into reading the books in our new levels.  We have worked with a lot of books that are nonfiction.  We discussed how these books give us real information.  Ask your child to tell you if their IMC book is fiction or nonfiction.  We have really been practicing our writing skills.  We have done many lessons on how to create sentences.  We are really focusing on using spaces, capital letters, and periods.  We know these are important.  Have your child do some writing at home to show you their improvements.

Math

In math we have been very busy working on shapes, 3 dimensional shapes, symmetry, fractions, and dividing objects to share.  We will be taking a little bit of time next week to work on skip counting by 10’s to 100.  Please take some time and work with your child on this skill.

Science/SS/Health

In Science the students have been doing experiments on wood.  They are looking at how it reacts to water and whether it floats.  In SS we have been discussing things that happened long ago.  In Health they are busy discussing Healthy habits that will make them live a long life.
