Math: (for the next 2 weeks)Mentally add/subt 10 or 100 to a given number and
.
explain why add/subt. strategies work We will also be looking at missing
addends and arrays as that seems to be a challenge. Last week we looked
at line plots and pictographs with bar graphs. Having them on Moby Max is
very helpful.

Writing: Students are to respond to a level reader(will be sent
home) letter level above where they were marked. So in their
RED folder if they had been answering questions on H then go
one level up. They will also answer the questions on the back page
of the book. This is our last week to practice before testing
In May, students will be assessed using the
Reading 3D program. Students will read 3
passages to assess their fluency. The goal for
the end of the year is 87 words per minute.
Students will also read books and asked oral
and written questions. The book level goal for
the end of the year is level M (books are
leveled in ABC order) This will give us accurate
data on how much your child has grown with
their reading skills this year! In addition they
will take their last Benchmark, CA and AIMS
