There is no school this Friday, April 15th. That was put into the school calendar for a bad weather make-up day and since we didn’t have to miss school for weather this year, we get that day off! What are we learning this week? Math: We are still composing and decomposing larger numbers and working on place value. We are learning about standard form and expanded form. Reading/Writing: Students should bring home their guided reading baggie and sight word baggie each night for practice and they need to bring them back to school each day. We are continuing our Mo Willems author study. IB/Social Studies/Science: We will learn about authority figures in the home, locally, at the state level, and nationally. 2. If you notice your child writing a number or letter backwards, please have them correct it. 3. When your child is writing at home, please check to make sure they are beginning sentences with capital letters, using complete sentences, and using punctuation at the end. 4. Anytime you can, riding in the car, during commercials, etc., please ask you child to count to 120 by 10s or by 5s. If they master that, try 2s. 5.
