March 17th News

A special thank you goes to Mrs. Allen for putting together our class basket!  It looked fabulous for the auction on Saturday!  Also...congratulations to all of the Locomotive runners.  Way to go! 

This week in class...

Math - We will be finishing measurement and will review making change!  Next week we will begin our unit on MULTIPLICATION! 

Reading - In our Reader Leader Communities, we will be reading non-fiction texts about plants and animals.  These stories go along with our life cycle unit perfectly! 

Writing - Tomie dePaola is a great author and illustrator.  We will use some of his books this week for persuasive writing ideas. 

Spelling/Language Arts - This week we will be reviewing suffixes!  -s, -es, -ed, -ing

Science - What a fun week this is for science!  Our class will be taught by a different teacher each afternoon.  Each teacher will present the life cycle of a different animal. 

Reminders...

It's time to start practicing for the CRCT!  We have been practicing in class, but I just wanted to remind you to use the computer practice at home as well!  All of the information for the on-line practice was given to each parent during the January conferences.

Report cards go home on Thursday!  Please look over and return the card/envelope on Friday.   

Next week we will be going to the Chattahoochee Nature Center to learn even more about Life Cycles!  :)
