Thank you for your donation for Pennies for Patients. It is amazing to see our school bring in such a large amount! The students were very proud to be able to help children with cancer. March brings us to the end of the 3rd nine weeks. Report cards will go home this month, please keep an eye out for them in your child's folder. March also brings spring weather, but please continue to send winter gear with your child to school as the weather may change quickly and because of the water on the play ground from the melting snow.
We are also celebrating reading month in March. Remember to have your child read and return the reading logs to school to earn points for our classroom. Also, your child may participate in the dress up activities for the month that was sent home on the reading calendar.
Reading/Language: We will be working on suffixes, synonyms, plurals, main idea, fact/opinion, pronouns and adverbs. We will continue working on nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
VoWac: We will be reading and writing words with vowel teams ou, aw, and ow.
Writing: The students really enjoyed our opinion writing activities. We will continue with the 6 traits of writing for the rest of the year to help students improve their writing skills.
Math: We finished working on money in math. We are moving onto graphs (picture, bar, and line plots) and then to telling time to the five minutes. Please continue to work on adding and subtracting at home.
Science/Social Studies: We will be reviewing map skills this month. We will also learn about heart health. We will finish out the year working on animal habitats and groups by working on a research project.
Thank you for all the help you give your child. Your support is so important to your child’s education. By reading to your child and working on math facts at home, you give your child the skills needed to be successful in school. Things to specifically work on, is addition and subtraction facts 0-20, counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s, Dolch sight words, spelling words, and reading fluency by practicing reading. Try to keep the learning at home fun for your child. They spend all day at their “jobs” so about 15-20 minutes of playing games and review is all they really need.
HOMEWORK POLICY: We will not have homework sent home frequently. If your child has homework there will be a note sent home letting you know it is homework. If your child is sick the work we did in school that day will be sent home with them, please do the work and return it to school. Please work on the activities listed above nightly. This is their "homework" for the night.
