May 11th 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 will choose an animal to write their reports on.  They will be using a book as well as online resources 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 fractions.  Additionally, we will be creating our own story problems and solving them in multiple ways.  Look for Home Link 10.4 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, which goes along with our animal reports.

Mrs. Lechter is looking for brown paper grocery bags.  If you have any extras you'd be willing to send to school, she would greatly appreciate it.  She will be sending art projects home with the children soon.
