Good afternoon everyone,

We are off to a busy start to the week. The boys received new books in their book bags and most of our book clubs are finishing our first books soon. There will be a district common assessment for social studies on Thursday so watch for a study guide to come home completed and checked on Wednesday. The rest of our week looks like this:

Spelling- We are looking at consonant blends and the sounds they make. Our words are black, track, skid, crab, flat, first, finally, tally and digit

Math- The students are working on adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers. They are really struggling with this concept. Please check in with your kids on their understanding of these concepts. They are allowed to solve them with any method that makes sense.

Writing- We are working on our narratives and hopefully can publish by Friday.

Reading- Some reading groups are getting new strategies and others are continuing with checking for understanding.

Science- We are still working on forces and motion with a focus on force arrows.

Social Studies- We are finishing our first unit and will have the test on Thursday.

Have a great week!
