May 12th Newsletter


Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week we will be reading books about animals.  We will be concentrating on the animals characteristics and special adaptations.  Additionally, we will begin our animal report writing.  Your child has chosen an animal to use for their report.  Please ask them what they know about their animal.  They will be using a book as well as an article to help them research important information about their animals.
 
In math, we are going to work on two digit addition without regrouping and making change up to one dollar.  We will also be revisiting how to read a thermometer and comparing temperatures.  Additionally, we will be doing a short geometry review.  Look for Home Link 10.5, 10.6 and a two digit addition practice sheet to come home this week.
 
This week in science we will be focusing on parts of a plant and the life cycle of plants.  We will also continue studying animal groups.
