*************************************************

Reading Class  - AR required points for 2nd quarter is 15 point. (5 of the 15 points have to be non-fiction.) 

This week in Reading our class will be working on formation of a friendly letter.  At the end of the week, they will be writing a friendly letter to me.  I will respond and sent it home in the mail.  Be watching for their letter from me!  We are still working on how to write a paragraph correctly.  We have been practicing writing a main idea sentence, 3 to 4 supporting detailed sentences, and a closing sentence that restates the main idea.

Math Class       

My Math class is learning all about 2 and 3 digit addition with regrouping.  We are also working on adding money.  Everyday we will be recalling our 1 digit addition facts quickly with a 4 minute fact timing.  The students will be rewarded for passing each timing.

 

Science

 The science classes have switched teachers.  I will now be teaching Earth science to Mrs. Staffileno’s homeroom.  Mr. Leintz will be teaching physical science to my homeroom and Mrs. Staffileno will be teaching Life science to Mr. Leintz’s homeroom.

I will be teaching your child about Earth Science for the next six weeks.  This week our class will be learning all about the solar system.  We will be creating a fact-filled flipbook.  This is a fun activity for the students.
