Week of March 13

 This week is going to go by SUPER FAST... it always does right before a vacation. :) Our Resources are Tuesday- ART, Wednesday- ART and Thursday-COMPUTER LAB.

Some other important things to remember: Thursday is Picture Day. Only the students who have paid for pictures will have pictures taken. If you need another form, let me know, I have extras. Friday is Teacher Planning Day- Students do not have school. Spring Break is the whole week of March 20-24. School does not resume until March 27. (This will be the beginning of the 4th Quarter!!)

Also, Sophia and Jamari will both be joining the 6 year-old-club. Plus Jamari is bringing in a special Birthday Treat for the class on Thursday. Make sure to wear GREEN and have a GREEN DAY!! :)

**No Homework Packet over Spring Break. If you want to keep your child busy, i-Ready will be available.**

MATH

We are reviewing the different combinations for numbers 6-10. Along with the different ways to write an equation... Remind your child that the + and - signs do not always go at the beginning of an equation. It could also be the equal sign. Then we will be completing the End of Module Assessment and ending with a Love Bug Craft for decomposing numbers. Everything is sure to be great!! The students have done a fantastic job writing equations and filling out number bonds.

SAXON, SIGHT WORDS, BLENDS AND MORE!
We will be reviewing which letters are vowels. Then discussing how to code a word that has a long vowel and a silent e. We will begin with words that have a long A. We will code the a with a macron and slash out the silent e. (Your child may call in a silent e, magic e, or many other names. The videos on youtube name it different things.) Here is a fun Magic E video to watch.
We will be reviewing all Sight Words, Blends and Word Families taught in class thus far.

READING
We are discussing the Seasons! Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. We will read a story about each one and then make a chart detailing the following information. The Months, Clothes, Activities and Weather. Students will work in their journals drawing a detailed tree and the clothes they would wear in each one. The chart is helping the students to focus on the main idea and details that support the main idea.
Here are some Season Videos we will watch before reading each story.

 

WRITING

We will be writing about our plans for Spring Break. Things that we know we are doing and things that we hope to do! I am stressing the rules of writing this week: Begin with an uppercase letter!! Spaces in between the words!! Punctuation at the end of the sentences!! And last but not least... sounding out unknown words and using the Word Wall.
