Math- We just finished up unit 9 and we will be starting unit 10 this week. We will be learning about Fractions, Probability, and Time in this unit. This week we will be working with identifying one-half and one-fourth, and then moving on to thirds, sixths, and eighths. We will also be working on reading and writing fractions.
Writing- We are still finishing up our narrative essay, but we should have it all finished by the end of the week. We will also be working on some fun Dr. Seuss writing for our Dr. Seuss activities.
Reading- The kids are doing amazing things in reading. We are going to really be focusing on comprehension skills to get them ready for the end of level test.
Teacher Notes- This week is Dr. Seuss week and there are many fun activities planned. Monday is beach day, Tuesday is dress like your favorite who-day, Wednesday is hat day, Thursday is wear crazy slippers or sock day, and Friday is Pajama Day. We are going to have a lot of fun this week. I also wanted to remind you that there will be NO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK (March 16-20) We also have a Teacher Work Day on March 23rd, so the students will not come on that day either. The students will return on Tuesday March 24th!! Thanks and have a fantastic Spring Break!!

Math- In Math we are learning about adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers. The kids are really getting the hang of it and I am so excited. They are learning how to re-group with subtraction (or borrow) and how to carry in addition. We are getting into some hard stuff and the kids are doing great!! We are also doing a math camp on 2 digit addition this week!!
Reading- We are still going strong with our summaries. I am so excited that they are really producing some great summaries and it is also helping in their writing too!! This is so great!! When the groups finish up their book, I am going to give them a break from summaries and we will do some fun activities for a while!! Please keep reading at home because I am noticing a BIG difference.
Writing- I am so thrilled with the writing that this class is doing. It is absolutley incredible. We have mastered paragraphs and have moved into an essay. The students are working so hard and I am really enjoying the stories that they are creating. They are working on a narrative essay right now and are on the final draft. It will be hung out in the hall by the office when they are finished. (I will keep you posted)
Teacher Notes- Thank you so much for coming to parent teacher conferences!! I really enjoy talking to you and discussing your child's success!! Next week we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday with fun things every day. I sent a note home today with your children to tell you about the events for the week. I also wanted to let you know that I will have a substitute here on Wednesday. I will still be here at school, so I will be checking on the students. I will be running the Science Fair that day and so I won't be able to be in the classroom. I also wanted to thank Halli Judd's parents for coming in on Friday!! They taught us about how to be an electrician, played games with us, and gave us some yummy treats!! Thanks again for all of your support and help!!
