Happy snowy Monday 🙂 Please remind your child to dress warmly and bring their gloves/mittens and boots to school for outside recess. Also, a pair of shoes to change into so they’re not wearing boots all day.

We finish up conferences Tuesday and Thursday. If you’re not able to make your scheduled time, please email/Dojo a message to me and I’ll see about rescheduling.

Spelling words this week focus on the long i vowel sound: night, light, bright, dry, sky, child, high, kind, cried, tried.

We also continue our reading unit using our visualizing strategy and reading about characters who over come challenges. We’re reading different versions of fairy tales to help us. Students are also writing a personal narrative and recounting the lesson learned from their experience.

Our math focus continue with reading and writing numbers to 1,000 in different forms. You’ve seen the word form, expanded form, standard form on the homework. We’ve also been working with disks in the place of base 10 blocks. We’ll be revisiting the use of <, =, > symbols to compare numbers.

We’ll be finishing up our science unit on properties of matter this week. We learned about the property of something being meltable by doing an experiment with candy. Please ask your child which type of candy would be best to send to a friend at Camp Way-Too-Hot!

We continue our learning of map reading skills by looking at a map of Dearborn and where our place is on the map.

Stay warm and enjoy your week!
