January 26th-30th

Math- We will continue working on geometry and measurement. We are learning how to measure area and we are also working on measuring using cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. The students are learning how many cups are in a pint, how many cups are in a quart, and so on.

Writing- This week we will be focusing on a narrative paragraph. We will be working on the pre-writing phase of this paragraph. The students have now learned how to write an expository paragraph, a descriptive paragraph, and a persuasive paragraph.

Guided Reading- We are still working on our summaries. The students are writing a paragraph after they read a chapter. By doing this, the students are also working on their writing. I like to really get the summaries down because in third grade they have to write a summary for their DRA test. If I prepare them now, it will help them succeed in the future.

Other Notes- The students are working on a fun program. We still haven't set a date for this exciting adventure, but I will let you know as soon as I do!! We are also getting talkative again in class. Please remind your children of the behavior that is expected at school. Thank you so much for all of your help and support.
