Happy Monday!
The spelling has changed this week. I will be testing the students on their word card words only.
We have begun our Ocean Unit and this week we are studying Sea Turtles. Their word card words are related to sea turtles. We started to trace images onto their shirts. All of the boys will need to bring in a red handkerchief. They are lobsters. Please continue practicing their poems. I will be sending home their speaking parts on Wednesday in their Reading Journal bags. Please keep everything in a safe spot, so they can practice daily. They will be bringing home their Sea Turtle book to read on Wednesday with an activity to complete in their Reading Journal. Our reading and writing is now focused on nonfiction throughout the remainder of the year.
In Math, we are working on fractions. They are bringing home a spring fractions book. We have talked about the denominator being how many parts make the whole. The numerator is the number that tells how many of those parts you are talking about. Please review the pictures. We have not talked about reducing the fractions. Some of the pages, they have to look at to tell that 1/2 is what is being asked.
Don't forget Celebrate the Arts on Friday. Our performance begins at 11:00. The students have been asked to wear green shirts with their jeans or jean shorts.
A few Reminders: snack needs to be sent to school daily. All papers returned to school must have your child's name on it.
Have a great week. We will!
