SUBJECT AREAS
MATH
With this unit the focus is 2 digit by 3 digit multiplication and division. There is also a focus of graphs, data and multiples of tens. It is very important to keep studying their times facts. We will be continuing the times test 2-3 times a week.
READING
Crct is coming up around the corner. We are focusing on strategies for the test. Questioning, inferencing, main idea and so much more. Please take advantage of the packet that was sent home. If your child does this in the evening for at least 20 minutes, including on line, you may substitute the CRCT practice for their reading log. Just be sure to write it in.
Another focus for this 9 weeks is poetry and narrative writing. We will explore limericks, haiku, alliteration and the poetic devises. The children will be writing and expressing themselves with their own poetry writings.
GRAMMAR
We have really taken charge of grammar. The class has learned about subjects, verbs, predicates, nouns, pronouns,adjectives, prefixes and suffixes. We are working hard.
SOCIAL STUDIES/ SCIENCE
In science we will look at magnets and heat.
