Every Monday I will be sending home a weekly newsletter. Starting September 14 I will send home weekly homework packet on Monday that will be due on Friday. Most of the homework will involve reading for 20 minutes a night. Students who read 20 minutes or more a night make faster progress in reading. Students may read books from home, library books, or if you need books at home let me know and I can let students borrow books.
Students may bring a fruit, vegetable, or yogurt for snack every day.
They may also keep a water bottle on their desk. Our class is a nut free zone so please do not send in any peanut butter or nut products.
Thank you.
What we are covering in class…..
Reading- We are reading Fables. Students will compare 2 versions of a fable. Students will read a fable and sequence the events and will discover the moral.
Math- Students will apply strategies to strengthen their skills to solve addition equations to sums of 20.
Science- Students will identify the parts of plants and their purpose. Students will identify the needs of plants. Students will apply that knowledge during an experiment growing seeds in different environments.

Writing- Students will write a paragraph on topic with complete sentences.
