Kids Heart Challenge 

I hope everyone enjoyed the warmer temperatures this weekend and is getting ready to get back into a full week of school.  Now that we are finished with NWEA testing, (just a few absent students need to do make-ups) we can get back to a normal schedule.  We have library on Monday afternoon.  Please make sure students have their library books.  Wednesday is a late start.  School begins at 9:35.  There will be no school for Kindergarten on Friday and there will be a morning PTA meeting at 9am.

Here is what will be happening this week.

Math:  We will be working on multiplication and division with word problems.   There will be a topic quiz on Thursday that will cover lessons 1-3.  A review sheet will come home Wednesday.

Science:  We will investigate condensation by completing an investigation.

Social Studies:  We are studying economics.  This week we will focus on choice, scarcity, and opportunity cost.

Reading:  We will focus on how the text and illustrations help us understand the mood of a story.

Writing:  We will finish planning our opinion essay and then begin drafting paragraphs by the end of the week.
