April 20th Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week in reading we are going to be learning how to classify and categorize objects.  We will be working on r-controlled vowel words with the er, ir, and ur sound.  We will be completing activities throughout the week that involve the r-controlled vowel words, or "bossy-r."  In writer's workshop we will be writing letters and poems.  We will also continue to add to our classroom journals.  The students love having so many options to write about!

In math, we will be focusing on fractions.  The students will be comparing fractions and continuing to learn about equivalent fractions.  Look for Home Links 9.6, 9.7, and 9.8 to come home this week.  Please continue to work on addition and subtraction facts to help with fact fluency.  This quarter, our addition and subtraction facts go all the way up to 20.

This week we will be learning about different types of weather.  We will talk about the seasons and what type of weather we typically see during each of the seasons.  We will also be learning about recycling and how important it is to reduce, reuse and recycle.
