Weekly Update

5/18/2018

We would like to thank the PTO for a fun activity to end the week.  The cultural arts program on Wonderful Air was informative and very entertaining!

In math, writing, and reading we are still working hard on the same units.  In reading and writing the students are not researching a topic of interest to write their final non-fiction piece.  These should be finished towards the end of next week.  We will get a chance to visit with third grade to be the audience for their non-fiction research projects.

In math we are working more on telling time and counting different collections of coins and paper money.  These are both areas that can be worked on at home!

We have started our last science unit of the year, with a focus on plant growth, pollination, and seed dispersal.  We are conducting experiments with celery and succulent plants to see how much light and water they require to survive.  

Hopefully everyone will get a chance to see the art show next week.  Mr. Granucci could still use some help hanging artwork on Tuesday, May 22.  Please email him if you can help out.

Math, Reading, and Writing Update

5/11/2018

I can't believe that we are into May already - the year is flying by!

We are in the middle of our units in Math, Reading, and Writing.  In math we continue to work on adding and subtracting three-digit numbers up to 1,000 using base ten models and open number lines. We will wrap up this unit with a review of telling time to the nearest five minutes as well as using language such at "ten minutes to eleven" and "twenty minutes after two". Keep on practicing fact fluency, telling time, and counting money at home. 

Our reading and writing units are closely connected since they are both non-fiction units.  The students are working in non-fiction book clubs to research topics, and then using their new found knowledge to write information books filled with headings, side bars, caption, expert words, glossaries, and more.  We will wrap up these units with the students picking individual topics to research and write about.
