Week of 2/29

Math:  This week we will begin Unit 6.  Students will get a new math journal for units 6-9.  Their math journals for units 1-5 was sent home on Friday.  During Unit 6 the focus will be getting students to be flexible with efficient addition and subtraction strategies.  This week students will learn about name collection boxes, fact dominoes, and fact triangles.

Phonics:  Each student will receive their new weekly words on Monday.  Help your child to complete at least one activity from their Weekly Words Homework Menu each evening.  Students will also learn about synonyms this week!

Writer's Workshop:  Students will continue to write opinion pieces.  We will work to wrap up our book review opinion pieces, and then begin to write restaurant reviews.

Science:  Students will be learning about animal adaptations.

Reader's Workshop:  We will be reading a different Dr. Seuss book each day to celebrate Read Across America Week!  I will also be meeting with small group and individual students all week to teach and practice reading skills.
