Congratulations to Heaven for reaching 100 nights of reading!! She enjoyed lunch in the classroom last week!

We will participate in our 3rd annual Frederick Elementary Fun Run on Thursday. This will be a full day dedicated to thinking about and experiencing healthy choices.

What will we be learning this week?

Reading: We took our Unit 10 final assessment last week. We have begun our new unit, On the Farm. Our reading focus is Author’s Purpose and the genre is Fantasy. The vocabulary words for this theme are nourished, farming, maintain, bounty, various, and produce.

Writing: We are continuing to work on persuasive writing.

Math: We are nearing the end of our unit on double digit subtraction. After taking our final assessment, we will be focused on an introduction to multiplication as well as more work with basic fractions.

Science: We continue our study of habitats with a focus on the adaptations that plants and animals make in order to survive in their environments.

Social Studies: Through our study of personal financial literacy, students are earning “money” in order to purchase an activity. This project reinforces the concepts of needs and wants, goods and services, and abundance and scarcity as it can apply to their own lives.

Word Study/Spelling: We will take our spelling test on past tense verbs Wednesday. We will also take a pretest on words with the -ING ending.
